Also, it would be hard to expose expression templates and such for the =20
Array and Matrix classes if they embed the uBlas ones.

I too prefer this one, but it would be quite a bit of work (especially =20
if we want to maintain backward compatibility for one release.) We can =20
try and coordinate the effort so that you're not the only one upon =20
whose shoulders the task falls. I'll have a look at uBlas so that I can =20
have an idea of how this can be accomplished---drop me a line if you =20
have already though of this.
