We could consider to have a linalg._linalg module that just stores BLAS and LAPACK function pointer values as read-only integer attributes. This way we could move _dotblas into the core without actually having linalg in the core. linalg._linalg would just sit there and own BLAS and LAPACK, and no other part of NumPy would need build dependencies on these libraries. When _dotblas is imported it just imports linalg._linalg and reads whatever function pointer value it needs. It would also make it possible to remove BLAS and LAPACK build dependencies from SciPy, as long as we export most or all of BLAS and LAPACK.
