Concretely, because for a long time we have used the uWSGI application server 
and it manages forking worker processes (among other things), and AFAIK nobody 
has yet proposed trying to replace that with something built around the 
multiprocessing module. I'm actually not aware of any popular Python WSGI 
application server built on top of the multiprocessing module (but some may 
exist).

What problem do you have in mind that the fork server would solve? How is it 
related to this issue? I looked at the docs and don't see that it does anything 
to help sharing Python objects' memory between forked processes without CoW.
