## Follow up from previous meetings

- Unique nan PR: need to read through it

- (Raghuveer) Vendored meson: path to merging it upstream and getting rid of our fork?
- We use a feature dectection module that has not been upstreamed to meson. But the work to upstream that module is uneccesary if we are intending to use Highway's dispatch system. Using that dispatch system would mean dropping MSVC support. Are we ready for that? The general feeling was that the status quo is OK.

- NumType now has MkDocs documentation https://numpy.org/numtype/

- Deprecation of `numpy.typing.NBitBase` (https://github.com/numpy/numtype/issues/395)

- Should `np.count_nonzero` return `int` or NumPy scalar for `axis=None`?
`int` is the current behavior and scalar is expected by Array API. New behavior would be a change to the promotion of expressions that use `count_nonzero` without axis. https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/28615
- no strong opinions, Joren thinks it is a bit more consistent to change.

- Can we use openmp in np.sort? https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/28619
- unclear for now, let's ping some people.
