The point that John Hein raises is a valid one; Numpy 1.16 is indeed the last
release to support Python 2.7.

Looking at the numpy release notes, I'm not sure if there are significant
enough improvements between 1.16 and 1.18 to warrant leaving Python 2 users
without numpy. Although the support for OpenBlas with 8-byte integers might
appeal to those with huge datasets.

Additionally, there doesn't seem to be a huge uproar about the ports tree not
being on the latest stable numpy version. I only brought it up because in
principle it is good to stay current with important libraries like numpy.

So, maybe we should keep numpy at 1.16 until Python 2.7 expires at the end of
the year?
