Comment (by warner):

 I'm cool with leaving this regression until later.

 FWIW, I've been happy with the os.fork() patch locally. Also, {{{-m}}} is
 really just for developers (since normal users should only be running one
 node per disk, and {{{-m}}} is really just a shortcut to spin up a whole
 local testgrid at once). I'd be surprised (but pleased) if anyone other
 than me had ever used it. So documenting that {{{-m}}} doesn't work on
 non-{{{os.fork()}}} platforms would be fine with me (probably best done by
 conditionally inserting the argument into the {{{Usage}}} class depending
 upon {{{hasattr(os, "fork")}}}).
