I'd lean against adding the TRACE level to the 1.2 branch. Scott and Jake may feel the same way. In my opinion, the TRACE level promotes bad habits, especially in light of the confusion between TRACE and DEBUG. There is also the question of backward compatibility over the wire. If TRACE was introduced in 1.2.11 it would be incompatible with versions 1.2.9 and earlier.
I don't think adding trace would necessarily break serialization compatibility, but it would be something to check. If serialization incompatibility was unavoidable, then I would assume that we would vote to release 1.2.12 without the TRACE level but with the other bug fixes. I can backport my serialization compatibility tests from the 1.3 branch as soon as 1.2.11 is released, so changes in serialization will be detected quickly.
