maintains it now that he is no longer at Continuum is a good question.

>From looking at all of the external libraries referenced by binaries
included in Anaconda
and the conda repos, I am not confident that they have a totally strict
policy here, or at least
not ones that is enforced by tooling. The sonames I listed here
<https://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2016-January/074602.html>
cover
all of the external
dependencies used by the latest Anaconda release, but earlier releases and
other
conda-installable packages from the default channel are not so strict.
