That would not be enough, since the case for other exceptions would still be ambiguous, as the described behavior ("After all exit handlers have had a chance to run the last exception to be raised is re-raised.") would imply the exit code would be altered, like when exceptions are raised in normal context. In 2.7 the only exception that _did_ change the exit code was SystemExit.
