I second the opinion of anonymous, to wit:

I would suggest that the user be able to do what the trac project
administrator determines that the user can do. This would probably mean
that the trac program would need to implement a range of permissions for
giving finer grained control of file attachment permissions to the trac
administrator. For instance the trac administrator may determine that a
user can delete all file attachments, or the user may just be able to
delete his own file attachments. Point is that it should be up to the
administrator to determine the permissions and not the program. I think
that well thought out file attachment permissions will make the system
much more robust. Just my opinion.

I do not want to grant all of my dev users the WIKI_DELETE permission that
would allow them to delete all attachments (and other wiki elements); it's
too powerful. Nor do I want them coming to me or one of the other admins
if they replace their attachment with a newer version and then want to get
rid of the deprecated attachment from the attachment list. It is an
occasional nuisance, true; but why should the development team be beholden
to me for so trivial an alteration as removing an attachment that they
themselves added, if I think them trustworthy enough not to sabotage their
own wiki entries by deleting all their attachments in a fit of pique?
Could this not be solved by adding the appropriate code and adding the
permission type WIKI_ATTACHMENT_DELETE?
