Would your plan to be to just keep twisted pinned until you can EOL ubuntu? I don't want to be putting (non-trivial numbers of) users into the position of having to skip a bunch of updates.

Yes, I'm already working towards EOL of Ubuntu 16.04. I expect to have that work completed by the end of the year.
Glad to hear it :).
In the one case that may be complicated I think that pinning Twisted will be acceptable, since the service in question is a process supervisor without direct external exposure.
Well in that case I'll just do my best to add lots of goodies (posix_spawn support!) that will make you want to upgrade that to current twisted and python 3.8 :). -g
