Yeah, it's been decided.   But, don't panic. I don't think it will be 
that big of a deal.

pygist will still exist and code from scipy.xplt will go into it.
There will still be a scipy.xplt package (just not bundled with the new 
system).

All it really means is that there will be an additional package to install.

We are moving plotting outside of the scipy system.
