Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:

We don't have to for all possible things, doing this just reduced friction for 
existing uses.  In this case, calling umask in our child ourselves would be 
easy to support.  (easier than the more important setuid/sid/gid/groups-ish 
stuff that recently went in)

I'm trying to make sure we track what is blocking people from getting rid of 
preexec_fn in their existing code so that we can actually deprecate and get rid 
of the API entirely.
