The Cython wrappers in ``linalg.cython_lapack`` for the LAPACK routines
``*gegs``, ``*gegv``, ``*gelsx``, ``*geqpf``, ``*ggsvd``, ``*ggsvp``,
``*lahrd``, ``*latzm``, ``*tzrqf`` have been removed since these routines
are no longer present in the latest LAPACK release. With the exception of
are not present in the new LAPACK 3.6.0 release. With the exception of
the routines ``*ggsvd`` and ``*ggsvp``, these were all deprecated in favor
of routines that are currently present in our Cython LAPACK wrappers.

Because the LAPACK ``*gegv`` routines were removed in LAPACK 3.6.0. The
corresponding Python wrappers in ``scipy.linalg.lapack`` are now
deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The source files for
these routines have been temporarily included as a part of ``scipy.linalg``
so that SciPy can be built against LAPACK versions that do not provide
these deprecated routines.
