I don't want to put pressure on this but... was there any progress? :)
It would be nice to have this somehow fixed or worked-around, so that
I can upload to debian (experimental branch) and get some testing
there. The fact doc generation requires downloading datafiles from web
it's the only thing left that holds upload of mpl.

I am trying to track down a problem in the 3D code, and I have noticed an
issue with Axes3D.add_collection3d().  It checks to see which collection
type you are passing in and will convert them to their 3D equivalent if
possible, and then calls .set_sort_zpos() afterwards.  However,
.set_sort_zpos() was only defined for Poly3DCollections.  Was there supposed
to be some sort of inheritance that was supposed to occur or something?

Thanks,
