Looked a bit more at all the consumers:
- all the previous 'divmod.org' python packages (axiom, epsilon, nevow)
were put under the twisted umbrella on github (divmod.org died) and
depend on twisted >= 13.0 for their newer versions.
- londonlaw died upstream long ago
- hellanzb is also dead upstream
- castle-combat is not much alive upstream
- kajongg should be updated to a more recent version
- telepathy-gabble|haze|idle|logger only use devel/py-twisted/words as a
build depends
- avahi-ui only depends on twisted.web for bookmarks, cf
https://github.com/lathiat/avahi/blob/master/avahi-python/avahi-bookmarks.in#L186

I'd propose to remove hellanzb, londonlaw and castle-combat for a start.
