It indeed sounds like a nice learning experience of Twisted internals,
and I presume fixing a test that relies on these reactor spins could be
tricky/fun sometimes.
If there are still hundreds of such tests this can be a long work and I
may not be able to complete it all, however if it's fine/makes sense
that I help fixing at least some of them, then I'll be glad to help.
Cheers,
Free
