Have you performed a search on GitHub to look for use of the decorators?  I think external use is more of a concern than internal.

Subject: [Numpy-discussion] Deprecate np.testing.dec

Saw some discussion in this issue that since the decorators in np.testing.dec are there to support the nose testing framework, and since we use pytest mainly for testing now, that the decorators there should be deprecated. I created a pull request that does this, and wanted to get the mailing list's opinion before it went forward. Any thoughts, suggestions, or objections?
