True but not necessary. I mean, UserManager can also inherit from
another class that accepts an argument 'original' in its constructor.

Yes you are right. Since sessionLifetime is a class attribute you can
also do that before instantiating it.

String registration capability. If you are using zope.interface you
should look at compyCompat which is a lot shorter than compy.
I don't know if the string registration patch from Donovan has been
merged in Twisted actually, but compy was just an hacked version of
components. Currently compyCompat.Interface and components.Interface
are the same zope.interface.Interface.
