get_exception has no callers as of this commit's parent (gh-15248), and is hard to argue as public API given the only docstring in the file refers to "inside distutils".

This compat layer has been unnecessary since Python 2.5 (final release 8.5 years ago), which numpy has not supported since 1.7.0 (released 6 years ago).

touching distutils is tricky. There are downstream projects that may use it. Maybe a release note would ease the transition
