I would like to pick up on this comment:
The mentioned wiki page contains currently links to only 3 sub-pages:
   1. MatrixIndexing
   2. RuntimeOptimization
   3. SolversProposal

I did not look into any of these, but they all sound like "rather big thinks"

I understood the proposed new

as a summary of many more "smaller" things, such as
 * np.resize vs. arr.resize  need unified behavior, and additional
argument to allow old behavior
