I'd like to deprecate commands.getstatus() in 2.6. Reason: there is getoutput() and getstatusoutput(). In the latter, "status" means the exit code. getstatus(), however, returns the output of "ls -ld <file>" which is completely nonobvious and confusing.
Perhaps the whole commands module can be deprecated in favor of subprocess.
