Yes, there is. Make a separate docs package, wip/py-twisted-docs, which
doesn't depend on any Python version.

Marc, calling Twisted "unfinished" or "beta/alpha" is a deadly offense to me
;)

Seriously, the package is stable, the release is stable, the package works
and can do some serious work (eg. I've got 1 e-commerce site powered totally
by Twisted, integrated with some GUI program running on win32; I've got a
simple voice chat server based on Twisted)...

The pkg itself is mature.
