Dear all, We have been discussing the fate of the mentioned codebase, in the RFC [1] We are coming to a point where it looks like a semi-consensus that we need to do something about them. Less with the "sparse.linalg.iterative" which only has open issues burden but mainly "linalg.interpolative" which is causing all kinds of compilation issues. Just to mention, I think we don't have any appetite left for discussing the state of Fortran (multiple times already and also see [2] ) moreover Ondřej Čertík already broke some really good news about LFortran project. So let's try to get to a decision about scipy code first then we can digress further. The rather interesting option; can we deprecate "linalg.interpolative" instead of modernize? Input for that would be great. Thanks, ilhan [1] : https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/18367 [2] : https://discuss.scientific-python.org/t/releasing-or-not-32-bit-windows-whee...
