    Or we could decide that we don't need to duplicate scipy.


Copying scipy's and numpy's interface makes vectorizing code a lot simpler.  tensorflow also initially made the mistake of varying from numpy's interface only to then deprecate the variations and adopt the standard.

What I meant is to not add functions that already exist in scipy. Core devs do not need the burden of keeping up with whatever improvements are made to the scipy functions.
