Hey Travis, I agree with your general sentiment (and I assume Chuck does too). And I don't think either of us is suggesting that we change all the things we want done differently. I do think that it is reasonable for us to suggest a few changes that could be implemented quickly to the list and just have a quick up or down vote on that specific issue without having to have a general discussion regarding what 2.0 is. So there are at least three suggestions on the table right now: 1. I would like to add deprecation warnings for the numarray and numeric support (but leave all the code in at least until the 3.0 release). 2. Chuck proposed requiring explicit imports for things like fft. 3. Chuck also suggested deprecating the old polynomial support and make it not be imported by default. These things are relatively small and easy to implement. If someone is willing to do the work within, say a week, I think we should go for it. I am sure others may disagree. Why can't we just agree that the release is scheduled for 3 weeks from now. And if someone suggests a change that they commit to implementing in one weeks time and that won't require very much new code (for instance a deprecation warning), let's just vote for or against it. If it seems like people are generally in favor of the change, let's include it. So without changing the timing of the next release, would you still be against the three changes suggested by Chuck and me? I am in favor of making the above three changes as long as they don't add a ton of new code, functionality, or delay the release in any way. What do other people think?
