There's nothing wrong with having multiple numerics packages in
principle, but there is an important difference to the GUI situation:
the GUI community is so much larger than the numerics community
(speaking about Python of course) that it can afford duplicate
efforts more easily. In other words, the problem is limited
manpower!
