A style should not tinker with the interactive mode. Importantly, this means if you use it in a non-interactive context, such as building Sphinx docs or in a web server the plots take on the order of 10-20x longer to render.
This is somewhat a matplotlib bug that this even works in the first place (see matplotlib/matplotlib#4855).
However, in the meantime, I think we should just remove this from
astropy_mpl_style
.Not exactly sure how to milestone this -- it probably belongs as a bugfix, but's it could trip someone up who was inadvertently depending on this behavior.
