Personally, I'm leaning towards option (a) above (the

to the release notes, whilst working towards fixing this in Fedora 15.
Affected applications should be patched in Fedora 14 to avoid touching
the relevant warning setting, and we'll fix the root cause in Fedora 15.
Thoughts?

I'll have to read up closely on my upstream numpy and scipy are doing
in their development branches with regard to this. I think for F14
I'm going to have to live with using the CObject API for these. I
think the next major version of numpy is going to have this mostly
sorted but i'm not keen on pushing it into F14..not unless I have to.
A guarantee you there is a crapload of homebrew academic/science code
out there that uses the CObject API in a numpy oriented workflow. You
are definitely going to need a release note blurb with a reference
with more detail information on how to work around the problem for
people who run into it with their home brew code.
