Fantastic!  Arguably adding this was one of the central points of the Endpoints 
API in the first place, this unified "do what I want" endpoint is a big step 
forward for any clients using Twisted! :-).  It's great to see this finally 
land.

Clearly our participation in these programs is continuing to be a huge benefit 
to Twisted.

I can't wait to get this deployed on twistedmatrix.com itself ;-).
