In our case, the gravity point was people rather than projects.  *I*
want to know which high priority tickets do *I* have, regardless how
(un)related the projects are.  We want to know how many tickets are open
since whatever, regardless the project.  You can't do that with multiple
Trac instances.

I didn't know about this new development, but they insist so much that
their target is single-instance-single-project, and the #130 ticked is
so old, that I fear that it might not be very clean.

There is something more about Trac that confused me and my coworkers,
and it is shared with Retrospectiva, I think (we haven't evaluated them
thoroughly): this confusion between Login (which is unneeded to fill
tickets) and Preferences.  In our internal working scenario, we thought
it was clearer to force a login before adding tickets or edit wiki
pages.  In both DrProject and Redmine you have to login and then you can
set your preferences.  I don't know enough about Basie.
