I don't know how productive it is to dream up examples, but it's not very hard to do. Currently, e.g., the community is not ready to adopt numba as part of the ufunc core. But it's been stated by some that, with so many people running Conda, breaking the ABI is of little consequence. And then it wouldn't be much of a leap to think that numba is an acceptable dependency. There's a broad range of Continuum projects that intersect with what NumPy does: numba, DyND, dask and Odo to name a few. Integrating them into NumPy may make a lot more sense for someone from Continuum than for other members of the community.
