That we now have two very similar protocols is simply a matter of history and limited developer time. NEP 18 discusses in several places that __array_ufunc__ should be brought in line with __array_ufunc__, and that we can migrate a function from one protocol to the other. There's no technical reason other than backwards compat and dev time why we couldn't use __array_function__ for ufuncs also. Cheers, Ralf
