Who's "we", kimosabe - mind control is certainly on my agenda.
How comfortable should I be with these modules?
The modules that you mentioned have mostly accurate stability info, with the exception of banana - we tried to stabilize that one before we had enough users, performance testing, and security auditing, so there are some tweaks that will be happening in an upcoming rewrite. twisted.internet.interfaces looks like it's a little inconsistent, though - Itamar, would you look into updating that? If it says "stable", then we are committed to changing things very little, and providing extensive (and probably indefinite) maintenance of the existing interface even if things do change. If it says "semi-stable", you can probably only join IRC when releases happen and ask anyone if the changes are likely to impact you. (You could attempt to infer this from CVS logs and the ChangeLog file, but considering the quantity and subtlety of changes that happen each release, it's probably for all concerned just to ask.) These interfaces will change seldom and typically be well-announced if anything major happens. If it specifically says "unstable", you should be tracking CVS and on a first-name basis with at least one Twisted developer, preferably the maintainer of the module of your choice :).
