Oops, did I say Twisted? When I last heard Chris Tismer talking about 
Stackless someone in the audience asked him about the prospects of 
incorporating Stackless into the core and he suggested he didn't 
necessarily think of that as a desirable change.

I would like to see it in the core, but integration would not be an easy 
task, and maintenance might be problematic.
