Unless, it's as simple as replacing "os.system(x)" with "subprocess.system(x)", I'm against this removal of a handy shorthand.

Also, seeing as it's a well-known C library facility, and Python likes to provide thin wrappers around the C library wherever reasonable, its lack would seem a bit odd. -- Greg
