I asked Paul Dubois about this a few months back, because I was confused: 
they're not fixing bugs in Numeric anymore, because Numarray will supercede 
it, but Numarray is currently only at release 0.4 (or thereabouts), and 
they're still arguing over what appear to me to be some very fundamental 
issues of syntax (to implement '//', e.g.). Dubois's answer was that 
Numarray is further along than it appears, but there's resistance to 
increasing the release number.... So, I guess, you should take claims of 
its imminent release with a pinch of salt.
