[issue11003] os.system should be deprecated in favour of subprocess module

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I'm inclined to reject this out-of-hand.  The os.system() call is a basic call that had been around for very long time, has been widely used successfully, and has parallels in other languages.

Please elaborate on "is broken i several fundamental ways."
