I think we made a good case for why those functions ought to be

Removing functionality is a drastic step to take, and I won't try to
deprecate them unless there is a clear consensus that it is the right
thing to do.
I am convinced. I do understand exec* is inefficient on Windows.
However, I remember I dealt with an application in which removal of said
functionality would force me to essentially paste the source code from
std.process into my program. That doesn't seem like progress.
Is there a chance to offer the functionality on Windows in a reasonable way?
