I don't think we need to drop source compatibility in numpy, to my knowledge the missing u'' syntax is not a big issue in the numpy code. In case it does come up we can use a u() function like in six. python3.2 is still the default in Ubuntu 12.04 which is still supported for 3 years. While probably few people actually use it, it would at least simplify binary package backports if numpy continues to build with python3.2 But +1 on dropping the 3.2 binary builds, looking at the download numbers of 1.8.1rc1 there seems to be a relatively low demand, but lets check them again after the final release.
