sys.exit() will raise an exception, SystemExit. It's certainly possible
that raising it will cause problems, though I wouldn't expect it to keep
threads from exiting. It's possible there's some race condition involved
that is less likely to happen due to this change. Regardless, You should
not call it if you're using Twisted (or if you do, it should be called
after reactor.run()).
