I wouldn't be enthusiastic about putting all of Twisted in the stdlib
either.  Twisted is on a different release schedule than Python. 
However, isn't there a relatively small core subset like Alex
mentioned that isn't changing much?  Could we split up those
components and have those live in the core, but the vast majority of
Twisted live outside as it does now?
