Yep, no worries. I'd feel bad if you started digging into it. Not the best
use of your time. I am trying to shield you from this junk, not pull you
into it.

(but, I hope the new library is easy to use. I went out of my way to make
sure the transition would be as seamless as possible for iotest writers,
and I genuinely hope I achieved that. Though as you've seen, there's a few
messy bits -- One of the reasons for sending this series out to list so
soon was precisely to force someone to witness the ugly bits so I could
align my thinking on how best to address them.)

I added as a pre-emptive mollification, it's been in my series for a while.
I jokingly refer to it as "tech preview". The asyncio stuff is fairly new
(even to Python programmers) and though I have tried my very hardest to
test that library as thoroughly as I possibly could, it seems like
everyone's reaction has been "Ah jeez, I dunno if I can truly review this"
so I added a little warning to ease minds a bit and try to make people feel
like they were committing to less.
