[Twisted-Python] Re: [Twisted-commits] aaaaargh. the makeidentity test was FAILING, and we never noticed, cause Deferred catches exceptions in errback (this fixes failure, not the Deferred issue)

That might be problematic just in terms of dependencies (it already imports
twisted.internet.task, though it shouldn't...).  reactor.callLater(timeout,
deferred.[err|call]back) seems pretty straightforward to me.

Although, perhaps Deferred ought to be in twisted.internet since it sort of
implicitly depends on the main-loop anyway.
