The only core functionality dependent on scipy.sparse is matrix multiplication and the like. Everything else is for inter-operability.
Thank you for commenting here. As you know, I am enthusiastic about seeing an `sparray` equivalent to `spmatrix`. When we last spoke, my recollection was that it would be beneficial to `pydata/sparse`. Is this still correct? If not, are we now in a situation where it would be more helpful to build `sparray` based on `pydata/sparse`. If we can have a good sparse array API in place in SciPy, it may significantly simplify code in various other libraries (I'm thinking of scikit-learn, e.g.). Best regards, Stéfan
