This is a perennial problem with pickles-as-status: the twisted.styles
versioning stuff helpfully upgrades the pickles when they are loaded,
but there's no facility in place to mark those pickles as dirty and
needing to be re-written.

This isn't so bad, overall, but the excessive logging can slow things
down.  You can probably hack the script that's doing that (it's
twisted's twisted/persisted/styles.py) to not log so much.

This will be fixed with the statusdb - yay!
