Should we just discard multiprocessing? #134

@goodboy

Description

@goodboy

Now that #128 is landing we don't really have a dire need for the stdlib's multiprocessing especially since it has proven much less reliable then pure trio alternatives (which I guess just means async wrapping around subprocessing?).

Reasons to keep it for now:

  • windows peeps might find they need it (though CI seems to say the native trio spawner is doing just fine)
  • benchmarking against the forkserver will probably be handy when we get to rolling our own for linux
  • it's probably worth doing another comb through of the code to be sure we aren't missing anything critical for our own spawning stuff

Reasons to dump:

Relates to #84 and of course always open to opinions.
