> I'm not sure what the point is - there are many child descriptors which may inherited, why care about this one?

The bug report comes from FreeBSD, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197376

They use os.system(), at least in the bug report.

The random file descriptor is a little suprising because it's not obvious than os.urandom() opens a file, nor that the file remains open.

It's also a change in a minor Python version.
