Arc,

This isn't about Twisted.  Let's not waste everyone's time by trying to 
make it into a conflict between Twisted users and the rest of the Python 
community.

You listed six other major packages that you yourself use that aren't 
available on Python 3 yet, so why are you trying to say here that this 
is all about Twisted?

No, it's not damaging.  Critical self-evaluation is a useful tool. 
Trying to silence differing perspectives is what's damaging to the 
community.
