Me, either. I'd prefer to reimplement atexit in C and make use of
something like the Py_AtExit-related functionality in pythonrun.c.

Hm, that doesn't make me too happy. Why do we need exitfunc at all if we
have atexit?

Guido suggested renaming sys.exitfunc to sys._exitfunc:

How is the atexit module to work after this patch?

(It could be reimplemented in C and reuse the old exitfunc functionality.)
