Comment:

 The current fix is quite unsatisfying because the bug is really in Nevow,
 not in zope.interface, and the Nevow maintainers are working on a new
 release of Nevow that will fix it, but the zope.interface maintainers are
 not currently planning to release a new version of zope.interface that
 changes this.

 If we ship Tahoe-LAFS v1.9 with the current constraint --
 {{{"zope.interface == 3.3.1, == 3.5.3, == 3.6.1",}}} then once a new Nevow
 comes out user will be required to use an older zope.interface for no good
 reason when they could instead use a newer zope.interface and an newer
 Nevow.
