Hi David,
you say:
"""For example, if a function is deprecated in numpy 1.1.0, it will
remain so in all 1.1.x releases, but it can and should be removed in
1.2.0. """

But what if, say, with version 1.1.2 we decide to change a given
default argument. So you get the deprecation warning starting with
1.1.2.
But now, if this happens to be the last version of 1.1.x. -- you say
that already with the next version ( being 1.2.0 ) it would change
without a deprecation warning given anymore !?

Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
