We talked about this at the SciPy Sprint.  Eventually, we will get 
there.  However, if we do it before 1.0.5, it will require nose to run 
the NumPy tests.   I'm concerned to make this kind of change, prior to 1.1

So, the strategy is to support what scipy needs for nose testing inside 
of NumPy for now and wait until 1.1 to move over to requiring nose for 
all of NumPy tests.

Yes, it is not as clean, but I really hesitate making a whole-sale 
switch at version 1.0.5
