This is a _lot_ of stuff.  I can only imagine what a mega-blockbuster release 
we are going to have once we have this level of investment but we are already 
_done_ with python 3 porting (a day which, at this clip, will come soon)!!!

Two minor points:

This release _also_ comes with setuptools console scripts.  That sounds a bit 
dull, but for those of you on Windows, the exciting consequence of this 
apparently mundane tweak is that that this is the first release to have 
programs like twistd (and the new 'twist'!) work properly at a Windows command 
line, without any special %PATHEXT% configuration!  setuptools/virtualenv/pip's 
.exe-stub generation makes .exe files that work more or less like regular 
Windows executables, and therefore integrate much better into the environment 
for all kinds of purposes.
I'm about to land the fix for .  
While not technically a regression, I believe we should have a pre2 for this; 
it would be sad for our first asyncioreactor release to be beset by random 
EPIPE tracebacks (even if asyncio itself would be without our help ;-)).

You needn't be concerned, Glyph, the asyncio reactor landed after I cut the
release, so it's existence is currently a spoiler for season 16.5 of
Twisted ;)

[Twisted-Python] making appveyor a required status

[Glyph Lefkowitz]

Just a bit of Github housekeeping: Appveyor has looked pretty stable (more than 
our other Windows builds, even).  I'm thinking about making it a required 
status for merging.  But I'm curious what other folks have seen on PRs I might 
not have looked at; is it pretty reliable at this point?

Also: I am thinking of turning off push statuses for Travis (for every branch 
but trunk), and just making it PR statuses.  Is anyone using the push status, 
or is it just making builds take twice as long?

Oops! :)

We should have an easier system for tracking this stuff.  In any case, looks 
like we are already teed up for an amazing 16.5 ;)
