I really don't want to get into a religious war about the relative
benefits of the two modules (I don't know Peter's well enough to
comment), but I think it would be nice for users if there weren't two
modules with the same goal, different interfaces and the same _name_. I
understand from Trent that Twisted has started to use his process.py, so
having another process.py in the stdlib at some point would cause at
least some users pain.
