I would like to propose that #3463 (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3463) be additionally committed to the 8.1 branch and any other branches that still get point releases. It is a pretty critical workaround which fixes the fact that recent OpenSSL libraries cannot connect to Java based services. This means that most of the packaged versions of Twisted cannot talk to Google Talk or any Tigase or Openfire XMPP servers. Since packagers are often reluctant to upgrade very far in a particular distribution, I would like to get bug fix releases out for Twisted 8.1, etc, so that we have some hope that this problem will go away as soon as possible. jack.
