What next, we give Alan Isaac commit rights and then it's OK to break
numpy.matrix when that's convenient?

You're proposing it'll be OK for others to break stuff that the people
before them put quite some effort into implementing. I damn well have the
right to give that a -1.

David is fixing the few existing problems now, so there should be zero
issues here. You're deliberately mischaracterizing the situation
(pre-alpha, lot of effort, etc.), so I'm not going to bother responding to
the rest, I'm annoyed enough as is.

P.S. if anyone wants to spend some productive energy on the build
situation, MSVC 2010 support for Python 3.x would be nice:
