Sure.  I ranted about a related issue8154 on python-dev in a not so
relevant message:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-March/098600.html

and can follow up with a more on-topic post unless you beat me to it.

I would much rather see os.exec* functions left unchanged in both 2.x
and 3.x series except possibly for Windows where  issue8154 is a bona
fide crash.  Lets see what python-dev has to say about this feature in
general first.
