twisted has just released a vulnerabilty report:

  https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-c8m8-j448-xjx7

which says

  "The HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 server provided by twisted.web could process
  pipelined HTTP requests out-of-order, possibly resulting in
  information disclosure."

twisted upstream says they aren't making a patch release with just the
fix on top of the previous stable, but instead are going through an RC
process with other accumulated changes:

  https://github.com/twisted/twisted/issues/12271

which will probably take another 5 days.  More importantly, it's going
to be awkward for packaging systems which want security bugfixes and not
new features.

(I'm not running any tahoe servers this minute, so this is just me asking
questions in the hopes it is useful.)

  - Is tahoe affected by this pipelining bug, or rather are tahoe
    installations in practice configured in such a way that there could
    be problems?

  - It seems the world is moving from twisted to regular async, and I
    wonder if there is any long-term plan for that.
