My preference would be to push people towards subprocess, and the more capable & complex API there, by deprecating commands completely. I'm happy to do it either way.
Yeah, but the deprecation rules require that the commands module has to stay around for at least one release; the quickest we can go is to deprecate it in 2.6 and remove it in 2.7. However, it would be fine to reimplement it in 2.6 using calls to subprocess.
Anyway, don't sweat it. Either way will be fine.
