There were many multiple long discussions about missing data that pre-dated Pandas from 1998 to 2011 while NumPy was being written and emerging in popularity. There were several NEPS and...

min and max: reduction on the ufuncs np.minimum and np.maximum. Speeding up those ufuncs should speed up min and max. But, specializing for reduction cases might make sense, too. Perhaps...

This is up to the project. We should likely not do that too often, but if it is justified and we believe a case could be made to the NumPy...

Yes, to replace "mask" and fancy-indexing, generically, we would likely need to replace the Python-level functions. There might be a way to speed things up a bit by replacing functions...

I'm not sure about raising a warning. There are a lot of cases where asarray will return OBJECT arrays as the default. Perhaps we could detect a failing "float" or...
