That's a lot of very good questions! Let me see if I can answer them one-by-one.

But even that could be accomplished by just putting something in the docs. And adding the alias has substantial risks: it makes unumpy tied to the numpy release cycle and compatibility rules, and it means that we're committing to maintaining unumpy ~forever even if Hameer or Quansight move onto other things. That seems like a lot to take on for such vague benefits?I can assure you Travis has had the goal of "replatforming SciPy" from as far back as I met him, he's spawned quite a few efforts in that direction along with others from Quansight (and they've led to nice projects). Quansight, as I see it, is unlikely to abandon something like this if it becomes successful (and acceptance of this NEP will be a huge success story).
