FWIW, I voted no, because of this "untruth" in the RFC:

"as there is a 1-to-1 replacement between expression and shell_exec(“expression”),"

Inside shell_exec("") you will need to start escaping double quotes,
which makes dealing with calling more complicated arguments to tools a
lot more annoying.

cheers,
Derick
