Please note that ideally we'd apply the change in a single release. Therefore it'd be nice if we move this forward before it gets too close to the release :) |

Nice! Do you think we'll get any feedback from the dev version? I figure people will only notice once we release so I guess we have to just go for it and see what happens? |

Yeah. I'll try to write a blog post and tweet and stuff, with links to the nightly build, hopefully that'll give us some feedback. Otherwise since it doesn't really break people's code, if we get the feedback that in certain places we should accept more parameters as positional, then we can just do that in a bug fix release. |

Since SLEP009 is accepted, we can start making certain args keyword only. AFAIK we never ended up doing the data-drive-API-design we wanted to do (or did we?). Therefore this PR starts that process by making some of the init args keyword only, in a rather conservative way (or I'd like to think), i.e. it puts the
*after the arg which I feel may be used often w/o its name.One purpose of this PR is for us to get a feeling about how we'd like to proceed, and therefore is not complete and only touches a few estimators.
cc @scikit-learn/core-devs since it touches the API.
