Re: [matplotlib-devel] Last call for 1.2.0

[Phil E. <pel...@gm...>]

Just closed the PR which proposes this change against master (in favour of
the one against v1.2.x).

It is very late in the day to be making so many example changes (especially
as we don't have tests for them).
Personally, the balance between the risks vs the benefits doesn't give me
much indication of which way to go (I guess that is partly because I don't
actually prefer the plt.subplots() interface in some situations). I guess
that is a debate for inside the PR (
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1462).

Cheers,
