While I remember: Because of http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/155#comment:6 ,
on your IPv6 branch please change Tahoe's dependency on Twisted (in
src/allmydata/_auto_deps.py) to >= 12.1.0, as changing the dependency on foolscap
to the version that supports IPv6.

(While setuptools/zetuptoolz/distribute would take note of the indirect dependency
on >= 12.1.0 via foolscap anyway, this makes it clearer what version Tahoe code can
rely on.)
