Not really for a distribution, but modifications in both Trac core and plugins that will make plugin development and troubleshooting easier. For example, monitoring how many handlers there are registered for some extension points, do they alter execution flow for specific requests or not, an ability to be admin or user right out of the box in development mode. > Anyway I have reason to guess, all this is not as strongly related to > Trac-Hacks.org still being on 0.10 as you suggest here, just another story.
