Revising the Twisted coding standard to permit (and even encourage) type
annotations is a great idea.
Using epydoc's @type tags in docstring was OK, but epydoc is not
a tool that is universally used in the Python world.  At the time, using
epydoc tags was the best that could be done.
Type annotations are a first-level language feature, that is part of the
core Python toolchain.  There seems to be growing support for type
annotations from various tools, IDE's,
Python libraries, and the core Python toolchain itself.
