What if tomorrow, Linux accepts a new flag, passing the flag would just be ignored? Maybe it's fine. Especially usually Python developers only use flags exposed in Python, and currently, only EPOLL_CLOEXEC is exposed and this flag is useless in the specific case of Python (Python always uses the flag).
