Yes, this was discussed on trac-dev, and the current idea is to have a 
[ticket] default_report configuration setting, which you can set to 
anything ... even a Wiki page as you suggested (see 
http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/msg/514ed4f34255d722 for details).
This is not yet done, but should be soon.

What is problematic with the reports is that using them implies an 
intimate knowledge of the Trac database model and often of the SQL 
dialect of the database used (especially for date/time related queries). 
This means that reports can eventually break at each Trac upgrade or 
database migration (less frequent, but still...). This being said, those 
arguments only stand as long as the report queries are written in SQL. 
As you noticed, with #1735 Trac custom queries can be saved as reports 
as well, so those inconveniences are not relevant anymore.

I think that rather than being phased out, the report module will evolve 
and move away from supporting direct SQL queries and rather focus on the 
TracQuery language, which itself should evolve a lot in order to match 
the possibilities currently offered by SQL queries. See also
