14653	GeoDjango utils shouldn't include a Popen shortcut	Paul McMillan	nobody	"`contrib.gis.db.backends.util` includes `getstatusoutput(cmd)`, which executes a command using Popen and returns the result.

This function doesn't seem to be in use anywhere within the GIS code. Including shortcuts like this without good reason encourages dangerous behavior. I propose that we remove this now, or mark it with a `DeprecationWarning` and remove it in 1.4. It is undocumented, and presents a potential security hole for unwary users."		closed	GIS	1.2		fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
