And, again, the threading-based API in concurrent.futures should work fine anyway. Do you suggest we selectively disable the process-based API? Yes. Importing concurrent.futures.process should fail.

If I understand correctly, it is possible to adjust BSD so that this will work -- as a user I would much rather be informed of that, even as just a caution, than to have Python not have the functionality even after I had fixed the OS problems.

Mind you, I have no idea how hard it would be to make this happen in the module in an intelligent way.
