Does this ring as many warning bells for me as it does for others? I know very little about the current state of PyPy, but I read your comment as implying that you expect Twisted to be unavailable (at some level or other) for users of Py3K. Is that right? How many other projects/packages anticipate not migrating to Py3K, I wonder?

I think it's safe to say that any package of comparable size is going to think twice about it without transitional compatibility.
