potential to break code that assumes a copy is made instead of a view.

The <ufunc>.reduce functions evaluates some reductions in a different
order than in previous versions of NumPy, generally providing higher
performance. Because of the nature of floating-point arithmetic, this
may subtly change some results, just as linking NumPy to a different
BLAS implementations such as MKL can.

The function np.concatenate tries to match the layout of its input
arrays. Previously, the layout did not follow any particular reason,
and depended in an undesirable way on the particular axis chosen for
