Eh. It's not too much of a strawman. I was under the apparently incorrect impression that there's some Fortran in NumPy, as the NumPy codebase is where f2py comes from. But it could very well not be used in any NumPy operations.

It's still rather important in SciPy.

It was replaced specifically because people were complaining that they had to install gfortran. Not for any performance reasons.
