## Discussion

Older Dependency discussion

* resupport numpy 1.22 due to need from pytorch from librosa: https://github.com/librosa/librosa/blob/e403272fc984bc4aeb316e5f15899042224bb9fe/setup.cfg#L67-L69
* loosen constraint for numpy dependency
* comments:
    - No objection to resupport np1.22
    - SPEC0's deprecation schedule is too aggressive for our community
    - ABI change in NumPy ~1.19 time set limit to how far back we can go
    - a lot is in communication
    - python 3.9 is 2 months away from EOL for security patches
* actions:
    - np1.22 resupport
    - investigation to older python and older numpy
    - don't drop 3.10 for now
- find a good time to discuss numbacc (formerly "v2").
    - Aug 12 office hour
