In practice, your proposal means to throw away `set-process-sentinel'
(and `set-process-filter'). Since the default functions are already
enabled, in most cases one shall use `add-function' instead. Which is
more complicate.

Do we want such a radical change? Your wording, you have applied in
processes.texi, sounds different.

(I don't oppose completely, I just want that we understand and agree
such a change.)
