One thing which I was wondering about numpy 2.0: what's the story for
the C-API compared to 1.x for extensions. Is it fundamentally different
so that extensions will need to be rewritten ? I especially wonder about
scipy and cython's codegen backend,


The C-API looks the same but anything hard coded type numbers and such will have problems. I would like to see the initial parts of the merge go in as early as possible so we can start chasing down any problems that turn up.
