This sub-thread seems to be based on a misreading/misunderstanding of an 
earlier statement.  This one, I think:

I don't think it has been suggested that logger didn't break anything 
(in fact, clearly it broke many things - that's why it's being reverted 
;).

Instead, Glyph was just commenting that removing logger doesn't have 
particularly far-reaching consequences throughout Twisted because none 
of Twisted has been updated to use the new API instead of the old API.
