[issue8972] subprocess.list2cmdline doesn't quote the & character

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

The problem pointed to by this report was resolved by the revert.  The issue of what to do about a list passed with shell=True is addressed (with no consensus) by issue 7839.  A proposal to add a windows equivalent of shlex.quote has been floated, but no takers have come forward to implement one, as far as I know.

There's nothing left to do here in this issue, as far as I can see.
