I am not aware of any concrete plans, maybe others can chime in?

It's a bit strange, the words that are used in this thread: "succession", 
"purification", "elimination", and "purge". I don't have my knife out for 
MaskedArrays; I merged a lot of Pierre's work myself. I simply suspect 
there may be a better and more supporting home/project configuration for 
it, perhaps still under the NumPy umbrella.
