I fully agree with everything you said. The only reason this code 
depends on Twisted is that I know it really well, and it helped me get 
a working gui that loaded packages off the network in less than an 
hour. This project was really just meant as a "learn how to use 
interface builder and pyobjc better" bootstrap project for me, and I 
only checked it in because Bob wanted to be able to work on it with me.

I fully intend to develop in such a way that swapping out the network 
layer should be possible. But at this early stage of implementation, 
having something that works with the least amount of code rather than 
something that works with the least amount of dependencies is more 
important to me at the moment, since I'm doing this in my incredibly 
limited spare time :-)

Jack chewed me out for the same reason... I knew I would get some sort 
of flack for checking this in ;-)
