I tried to get started on this yesterday. Unfortunately, the stack of work that 
requires this means I’ll be chasing after this for a while. Specifically:

- To deprecate ContextManager, we need to remove all instances of it from the 
code and documentation.
- That’s fine, except that code/docs that used ContextManager used 
{connect,listen}SSL and friends (because those were the appropriate APIs)
- Which means that we actually need to adjust a huge swathe of docs to use 
endpoints in order to remove the use of ContextManager.

I’ve gotten started on this, but sadly the {connect,listen} paradigm for SSL is 
extremely widespread in the Twisted documentation. This means I’m going to 
generate *several* sizeable tickets that require review just to get to a place 
where we can actually put the darn deprecation marker on those classes.

I’ve begun by tackling the tutorial in #8588 
(https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8588 
<https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8588>). There are further questions 
about the pedagogical value of this as “The Twisted Tutorial”, but for now I 
just want to bring it into 2014.

Anyway, I’ll be spending my Twisted time on this for a while I suspect. This 
will delay HTTP/2 client support, unfortunately. =(
