If something has been broken for 5 years, and nobody complained, that 
doesn't mean it does not have to get fixed. Maybe people just haven't 
cared enough until now.

Making several exit()-like functions, one for each bugfix to what should 
really be the only exit() function is IMHO not very good. Making exit() 
accept two parameters... well, it's probably not quite as bad, but... 
well, this will be the first exit() with two arguments I know of...
