No, I mean dropping the experimental twisted alternative.  ZServer is
battle-hardened, well-supported, and shouldn't need to be pulled out:
it allows for "standalone" use of Zope without any external integration.

IIRC, the twisted integration code was added because Jim wanted us to
"get out of the server business."  At this point, I think that folks
wanting an alternative to ZServer should focus on using WSGI to
integrate with the server of their choice;  we should make that as easy
/ smooth as possible, and ditch the (undermaintained / icky / old)
twisted integration.
