IMO asynchat and asyncore are braindead. The should really be removed from the standard library. The code is 10 years old and represents at least 10-year-old thinking about how to do this. The amount of hackery in Zope related to asyncore was outrageous -- basically most of asyncore's guts were replaced with more advanced Zope code, but the API was maintained for compatibility reasons. A nightmare.
Perhaps, but please keep in mind that the smtpd module uses both, currently, and would have to be rewritten if either is "removed".
