Comment #22 on issue 2482 by vlada.pe...@gmail.com: Stop bundling mpmath
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2482
First of all, why would mpmath become incompatible? It's a library like any
other, it should first deprecate functions for a few releases and only then
remove them (like we do in SymPy after all). If an incompatibility happens,
it's a problem with mpmath and a new version of it should be release
instead (it's not like we don't have contact). Finally, Fredrik himself
said that mpmath will remain stable, and he should know best.
Now imagine the opposite scenario: we release SymPy, and then discover a
bug in mpmath. So, now we need to release a new version of SymPy with an
updated mpmath, even though nothing in our code changed.

Now, I've asked for an "outside" opinion on StackExchange, I hope no one
minds. You can see the question and the answers here:

Thoughts?
