[Python-3000] PEP 3108: Standard Library Reorganization

Have the deprecations proposed by PEP 324
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0324/), the subprocess module,
been forgotten or am I blind?

"The functions and modules that this new module is trying to
replace (os.system, os.spawn*, os.popen*, popen2.*, commands.*)
are expected to be available in future Python versions for a long
time, to preserve backwards compatibility."

With all the different ways to start a subprocess in Python, dropping
commands and popen2 should be pretty easy, right?
