FWIW, the changes did not go in through a "back door", but through
a pull request:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/141
Whether issues with the API were resolved or not before merging, I don't
know.
(One can also ask whether it would be a good idea to forward noise from
the pull requests to the ML.)

No, master is supposed to be the integration branch with only finished
stuff in it.
