I think I mentioned this on IRC, but: aarragghgah no!

That path leads to Zope 2.  It's painful.  I'd far prefer to have to type:
    
    from twisted.flow import flow
    # or
    from twisted.flow.flow import wrap, Cooperate

in my code than deal with magical __init__.py in packages.

I recognise the desire to make using the package more convenient, but I
think the trade-off isn't worth it.  The rest of Twisted manages very nicely
without this, and it would be nice if we could keep it like that.  No
exceptions, please.
