If you are asking whether matplotlib will ever depend on scipy, the answer is "no", not in any future I can foresee. Its purpose is plotting, not calculating. There are some simple deviations from this mission--spectral plots and histograms, for example--but they depend only on numpy. Maybe your BCa code can be contributed to scipy?
