Why not just change wxreactor.install() to use this new code, rather than deprecating it? That would leave the door open to new strategies in case wx ever gets a non-broken eventloop.
I look at it this way:
I don't disagree with any of your points, I'm just saying that we don't need to deprecate an interface every time we change an implementation. *some* event loops (e.g. gtk) are actually better than the normal reactor one, so it still makes sense to choose on that basis in some cases. In the cases where the threadedselectreactor is better-performing than the direct-GUI-integration approach, that should be a decision that the Twisted core is aware of, but not necessarily one that the application developer need be made aware of.
