Yes, I think we've spent more than enough time on it. In this case it's 
for a major release only and the compatibility impact seems to be only 
platforms or implementations that don't support launching of processes 
today but are running applications that attempt to start processes 
anyway. So overall it doesn't seem to be something to be overly 
concerned with.
