No, I guess I was in a dangerous mood--I just ripped it out.  I could 
put it back with a deprecation if necessary--is it? The only nod to 
deprecation at present is that a matplotlibrc file with a numerix entry 
will trigger a warning instead of bombing.

It is still in the 0.98.5 maintenance branch, which I presume will be 
the source of the next release.  One option would be to put a 
deprecation warning there, but leave the trunk as-is.

What we probably *should* have done was to put a deprecation warning in 
back when 0.98 was first released.
