I mean if we use ipython 5.1 and sage 7.3 (which normally has ipython
4.2.1), we might need to apply commits from a later sage version to make
these versions of sage and ipython work together properly (and make
doctests pass). That's what I mean with backport in the entire todo list.

I hope Julien can elaborate more on that. But in the end we have to go
through the list of reverse dependencies and reverse build dependencies
that I sent yesterday and check if they all work with ipython 5 and if
they need additional packages for that.

Best,
