There's the switch to OpenBLAS and building the right selection mechanism for which arch to use: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.distutils.devel/20350. That seems now feasible to complete on a reasonable time-scale, and the problems with OpenBLAS seem to be mostly solved. Binaries which crash for ~1% of users (which ATLAS-SSE2 would result in) are still not acceptable I think.
Where are you getting this SSE2 number from btw?
This is info Matthew just collected from Firefox crash reports: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/4829#issuecomment-100354752
Ah, hmm. I guess it's possible that decade-old machines are less reliable and overrepresented in crash reports, but who knows :-) It might become reasonable at some point to just go ahead and put up binaries (ideally with some check so that they fail in a human-readable way), and see how many people email us. If it's too many we can always take the wheels down again. -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- http://vorpus.org
