Indeed, there is no reason not to make this available in NumPy.
+1, I agree, this should be a fix in numpy, not scipy.
I agree. My point was a bit of a side issue: given a user's computer, I have no garantee that numpy will be compiled with an optimized blas. In fact, I have often seen on computing clusters where people tend to compile stuff manually numpy using the embedded lapack_lite. On the other hand, scipy is necessarily compiled using a blas. This is why, as a developer, I always write code that uses scipy.linalg rather than numpy.linalg. However, for 'dot', I have no way of ensuring that the blas used to compile scipy is used.
