I agree with that. Keeping the 0.11/... and 0.12/... hierarchies in the
wiki in sync seems to be more difficult than it should be.

I fully agree as well.

To be honest, I don't see the need either. ReST/Sphinx may be powerful,
but that power is not needed for the Trac guide, which is mostly static
pages and a few macros like [[TracIni]]. So I see no obvious benefit to
moving to ReST for the TracGuide, while the higher barrier to entry is a
drawback.

That's for the user / administrator guide. For the developer / API docs,
I can clearly see the benefit of ReST/Sphinx.
