Eventually, even _testing would no longer get imported by default and
all will be well.
Of course, that might be too convoluted?
I'm not sure how that would work (you didn't describe how to decide that
explicitly imported and issue a deprecation warning? Say, move the code into numpy._testing, import in into the namespace as testing, but then have the testing.py file set a flag in _testing to indicate an explicit import has occurred? the import was explicit), but imho the impact would be too high.

The idea would be that within numpy (and we should fix SciPy as well), we would always import numpy._testing as testing, and not import testing.py ourselves. Then, there would be a flag in _testing.py that would be set to emit, by default, warnings about using np.testing without an explicit import, and stating which version all code will have to be switched by perhaps 2.0?).
testing.py would do a from _testing import *, but also set the flag in _testing to not emit warnings, because only a non-numpy (and SciPy) module would have imported it.
It isn't foolproof. If a project has multiple dependencies that use np.testing, and only one of them explicitly imports np.testing, then the warning becomes hidden for the non-compliant parts. However, if we make sure that the core SciPy projects use np._testing, it would go a long way to get the word out.
Again, I am just throwing it out there as an idea. The speedups we are getting right now so far are nice, so it is entirely possible that this kludge is just not worth the last remaining bits of extra time.
OT: Benjamin, would you take a look at PR #3534 <http://The number of nests varies a lot here year to year. Some years the yellow jackets have nests in every little overhang, cranny, and all over the eaves. Other years there are very few. I usually leave them alone and watch their comings and goings. One year I think there was a big fight or plague because dead and dying wasps and larvae were falling onto the ground from a nest behind some siding. Honeybees can be worse, I once saw an old house where the bees had taken over the inside of a whole wall. The honey was just oozing through and dripping down the wall. That said, if I get stung I clean them buggers out. Darwinian selection in action.>. It is the continuation of your nanmean, nanvar, and nanstd work. Chuck
