We at STScI have already begun modifying our code to use the new masked array. It is a very expensive proposition for us to attempt to support two different APIs for numpy for any length of time. It is likely that we would force our customer base to 1.1 to avoid the added support costs. I also hope that there aren't any additional API breaks in the works. A stable API keeps our customers happy. API changes tend to make them cranky. Just my two cents.
