Yes.

Umm, ... does `pip` automatically compile from source in
this case? (I just used `python38 -m pip install numpy`;
I'm afraid I did not specify a log file.)
Yes. I'm actually pleased that the install succeeded on Window, although you won't have good BLAS/LAPACK, just the numpy C versions of lapack_lite. The warning/error is a bit concerning though, it would be nice to know if it is from Python3.8 pip or numpy.
But I'll take the core message to be: wait for the wheels.
We will need to work on generating 3.8 wheels as soon as Python 3.8 is released. I'd like to try before then, but the simplest attempt failed and I didn't pursue it.
