Well, if I can go out on a limb here, my own impression of the twisted
software is that the whole effort is aither an attempt at obscurity or a
very poor example of documentation. It sometimes seems that those guys are
doing it just for themselves, which is perfectly OK by me.

The clarity meter's pretty low on the whole project, which is a shame when
you look at what it can achieve. I guess it's just another open source
project where documentation is undervalued.
