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.

That doesn't exclude each other. The module will fail on default (misconfigured) systems, and work on correctly-configured systems. See my patch for details.
