Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

The motivation for that decisions might seem a bit secondary, but I was worried 
that libraries who want to register a multiprocessing-based at-fork handler 
would always have to pay the import cost for multiprocessing.  With the 
registration logic inside the posix module, the import cost goes away.
