I've been hesitant to join in on this discussion, but the mention of moving work that's already been done on 0.11 into a separate branch worries me. I have already done a lot of work based on 0.11 as it is currently in trunk (not necessarily by my own choice--most of this work was started back when 0.11 seemed closer to release). Fortunately, I don't have *too* much riding on this--if anything gets changed I can adjust. The thing I'm most concerned about is the permission system. I have been maintaining a somewhat complex fine-grained permissions system for Trac, which used to depend on numerous small patches. With trac.context, plus the improvements merged in from the security branch--the IPermissionPolicy interface and the redone PermissionCache built around them--my fine-grained permission system fit in almost perfectly. I just had to modify the ticket.html template slightly to support ticket permissions better. At any rate, I agree with that rendering contexts and resource descriptors should be separate, and that it could probably be done better (though I haven't seen any of the discussion about that. Was it on IRC?) But whatever ends up happening the existing support for more customized permission systems is already a huge benefit in 0.11. As for other features, I'm mostly apathetic. One point I would make, in defense of dates/times linking to the timeline, is that when I was showing off 0.11 to my program manager he discovered that (I didn't even know about it) and really liked it. Why? I don't know. He also wants HTML e-mails which I don't care about. But regardless he likes it. And I don't see it as harmful.
