For standalone stuff, yes. But if I'm building an application in .NET that
I want users to be able to script using IronPython, and those users might
want to do some heavy-duty math (say, a 3D modeling application), it makes
sense for numpy to be available directly to IronPython.

Exactly, which is why I would prefer to see use work as closely as possible
with them and the PyPy team (remembering that those two didn't work so
closely in the early days of NumPyPy...) to reduce the workload.
