I'm -0 on this because these tools are NumPy-centric and do not have good support for non-numeric data.
Also, Numba is still hard to install without conda. I'd like to see wheels and debian support (numexpr has both) before calling it generally "available on all platforms".
pandas already supports lazy evaluation via numexpr. adding numba allows the possibility of generation of lazy expressions (and recent versions support ahead-of-time compilation).
I would simply make these requirements; they are available on all platforms and just help.
