Well, I would say "tolerable" rather than "acceptable" - it is a real 
annoyance since it will directly remove features now offered in uwsgi.

...which reminds me...:

@Alexandre: Make sure to add a NEWS entry warning users of the removal 
of matheval - ideally enumerating explicitly all uwsgi options which has 
disappeared and may silently wreak havoc on local systems.

Also, better check e.g. with codesearch.debian.net if any packages rely 
on matheval-related uwsgi config options, and if so alert them with 
bugreports.
