Huh, I thought you were talking about the ZEO client, ClientStorage,  
not the ZEO server.
For the ZEO server I don't see the point of changing it, it works well.
OTOH a ClientStorage has to integrate with the other servers in Zope,  
and that's the one that would benefit from being moved to the twisted  
event loop if twisted is used.
