I'm with the Twisted community on this one in that I see no real
"value". async operations and awareness should be (IHMO) really
left up to the server/framework, not the application(s) or middleware.

I personally still don't see any real benefit to changing the key names
from "wsgi" to "web3" (or whatever). I would prefer it remain the
same. If you're going to use Python3, you know you're using Python3
(you don't need "web3" key names to know that). (subjective)
