First, Michael Kerrin put in far more time than me, maybe about 10 times more.

Next, the twisted integration, from an HTTP point of view, was actually zero 
intrusive to Zope itself. We had switched to WSGI before, so twisted is just 
another server. WSGI, though not perfect, is a wonderful interface that 
cleanly separates server from application. I think the Zope 2 world regularly 
blurs this boundary and we need to make sure we are making the boundary crisp 
again.
