[Twisted-Python] I was looking for offhanded ways to improve us.

The gimp-style versioning is intentional.  I think that 0.99.* indicates 
"slogging towards 1.0!!" whereas 0.9 seems like a decent release in its own 
right.  I'll vote (i.e. use my divine mandate to dictate) that we keep it 
that way :)

The trouble is that webutils and webconfig are not logically "owned" by web.  
webutils could grow into a separate distribution; webconfig might just as 
logically be config.web.  I don't see a compelling reason for organizing them 
in a package yet.  (Something like twisted.reality may bear packagizing, 
since twisted.library *is* logically "owned" by reality).

Also, anything called "util" is basically crying out for refactoring.  
Perhaps web and reality should both be packages and both have a "library" 
subpackage?  I dunno.  Suggestions are welcome.

Well, there are 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3 releases in between, etc, that were not 
detailed.
