New description:

 Users still occasionally have problems with the nevow dependency:

 https://github.com/twisted/nevow/issues/7
 (see #2032)

 Also, Nevow is unmaintained -- there has been no release since 2009. But
 it turns out (thanks to Daira for pointing this out to me) that
 {{{twisted.web.template}}} is the successor to nevow!

 http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/web/howto/twisted-
 templates.html

 So, we can reduce our dependencies by one, by using
 {{{twisted.web.template}}} instead of Nevow!
