If numpy were released today for 3.1 (or even anytime before 3.2), that 
would be great. It would let those waiting for it that it is real and 
that they can go ahead on their ports.

Part of the reason for the 3.2 core-change moratorium was to let 
3rd-party packages target 3.2 by working with 3.1. If they finish and 
release sooner (as some have), even better. Unless they depend on 
something that changes in the stdlib, porting for one should pretty much 
be porting for both.

Agreed.
