I added a Misc/NEWS note for this in r65057. This is a good candidate for backporting to release25-maint. To answer Antoine Pitrou's question about using the old ident vs the new _get_ident(). I don't know if the forked process will have the same thread id. I expect so. If not, the code as recently committed will die on an assertion failure because current_thread() is simply an _active[_get_ident()] dict lookup that returns a DummyThread instance if the lookup fails. As for Windows, Windows doesn't support os.fork and I don't see any calls to PyOS_AfterFork outside of the Modules/posixmodule.c.
