Nope:  it was disabled because:

 - Not many people feel competent to extend ZServer.

 - People thought that using a server maintained by others was better
   than maintaining one ourselves.

 - Twisted offers potential features which seemed interesting at the
   time (I don't know how many of them actually got integrated).

I prefer ZServer becuase:

 - It is faster.

 - It is less complex.

 - It got *lots* of attention for real-world scaling issues, and
   is rock-solid stable.

 - I don't need the extra "shiny" features.

Note that the "flavor-of-the-month" is actually WSGI now, rather than
Tsisted (which uses the WSGI support):  see Philipp's "zope on a paste"
demo, for instance.
