You have to understand that numpy is the core layer on which people have build pretty huge scientific codebases with fairly little money flowing in to support. Any minor change to numpy cause turmoils in labs and is delt by people (student or researchers) on their spare time. I am not saying that there should not be any changes to numpy, just that the costs and benefits of these changes need to be weighted carefully. Numpy is not a young and agile project its a foundation library.
