1. Is anyone still relying on numpy 1.5.x or 1.6.x support for the next scipy releases?
I don't, but I just checked the NumPy version that comes with various Linux distros so we can see what people are likely to have. There is no Ubuntu long-term support release that ships 1.5, only 1.4 (10.04) or 1.6 (12.04) [1]. Debian doesn't list 1.5 for any of its releases either [2]. CentOS 6 ships 1.4 [3], while CentOS 7 ships 1.7.1 [4]. I take this to mean that almost nobody has NumPy 1.5, so there's no great benefit to supporting it. 1.6 might be more common.
