This changes the behavior of functions that are also used outside of
OE-core in a way that won't be easy to notice. I also don't think that
it is the right default. For example, for bitbake it is easier to
understand where an error occurred when stderr goes to the same stream
as stdout.

Can't you keep the current semantic and just override it explicitly in
those tests that need separate stdout/stderr?
