IMHO, twisted is a great framework for writing (single threaded) clients/
servers, but the protocols that come with Twisted are still very immature.
I wouldn't trust them for production use (and as the goal of zope3 isn't
to make Twisted protocols suitable for production use, I think it's not
wise to use Twisted).

Also, the single threadedness of Twisted may conflict.
