I don't disagree with any of your points, I'm just saying that we don't 
need to deprecate an interface every time we change an implementation. 
*some* event loops (e.g. gtk) are actually better than the normal 
reactor one, so it still makes sense to choose on that basis in some 
cases.  In the cases where the threadedselectreactor is 
better-performing than the direct-GUI-integration approach, that should 
be a decision that the Twisted core is aware of, but not necessarily one 
that the application developer need be made aware of.
