Yes, I mean scripts here. (TRAMP essentially runs a bunch of shell scripts.)
Since Unix binaries get invoked from shell scripts regularly, they
better behave in a predictable way. Bash scripts will regularly assume
that an exit code > 128 means termination by signal, so these binaries
are not portable in that sense.

I'd expect the vast majority of programs to avoid such exit codes,
precisely because they would want to allow portable usage in shell
scripts. So I expect that the current behavior in master provides the
"correct" result in the majority of cases.
