Summary: Why not drop the _active list?

Initial Comment:
I am using a modified version of subprocess.py,

where I have removed the _active list and all 
references to it.

I have tested it (under Windows 2000) and there were 
no errors.

So what is the reason for managing the _active list 
at all? Why not drop it?
