It would affect polyfit, where the powers correspond to the numpy polynomial coefficients. That can be fixed, and as far as I can determine that is the only numpy function that uses vander, but it might break some software out there in the wild. Maybe we can put it on the list for 1.1. I'd like to change numpy polynomials also, but that is probably a mod too far.
IMHO, a) 1.0.5 should ship with the docstring fixed, and nothing else. b) maybe we should deprecate the numpy.*-contained polynomial functions and move this stuff to numpy.poly for 1.1, and use this opportunity to fix the ordering in the moved functions. ? Andreas
