The issue is that Julian made some slightly nontrivial changes to
core/setup.py and didn't want to update core/bscript. No one else has taken
the time either to make those changes. That didn't bother me enough yet to
go fix it, because they're all optional features and using Bento builds
works just fine at the moment (and is part of the Travis CI test runs, so
it'll keep working).

I don't think the above is a good reason to remove Bento support. The much
faster builds alone are a good reason to keep it. And the assertion that
all numpy devs understand numpy.distutils is more than a little
questionable:)
