New submission from exarkun <[email protected]>:

In #2631 we added a recommendation that `assertEqual` be preferred in Twisted tests, over `assertEquals`.  This is the opposite of the conclusion I remember the group coming to (although I only remember a count of existing uses as the basis for this decision).

Am I mis-remembering?  Do we really prefer `assertEqual` now?  I don't think so.  We should fix the document to reflect reality.
