I think that tests MUST BE mandatory in every project used and/or
developed from more than 1 people.

As Mr. Lefkowitz said in the other message Twisted is not test driven,
requires only test for submitted code and I think it's the right way
to go if you won't break older or future code.

Ok so you need Twisted, no question about that.

Why didn't you ask to join the project?

Ok we are in the tastes domain :)
