Mean, median and mode are now deprecated. E.g.:

>median([1,2,3])
2 :1: DeprecationWarning: sage.stats.basic_stats.median is deprecated; use 
numpy.median or numpy.nanmedian instead See https://trac.sagemath.org/29662 
for details.

But shouldn't these basic functions have some default functionality? Is the 
intention really to make Sage users call basic functions from libraries. 
Students (mostly) don't know what numpy is and makes using mean, median and 
mode weirdly obscure - like calling combinatorics functions in Mathematica. 
For me (using Sage for classroom teaching) one attraction of Sage is that 
most basic things that a student would use have names that might be in 
their textbooks...

Will Calculus be deprecated too?
