+1 for dropping them in future versions.

As John so eloquently pointed out recently, MPL is faced with a great 
challenge in supporting so many python versions, backends, etc. This in 
one place we can simplify.

In theory, MPL can use numpy internally, and still get data passed to it 
from Numeric and numarray with the array protocol, so you wouldn't be 
completely abandoning users stuck with the older packages.
