I certainly am not mixing them up.

Indeed, that seems to be the kind of project *we all* are talking about.

Which seems to answer my question above, Trac still doesn't support
multiple projects in a single instance *as shipped*.  There has long
existed hacks and plugins to achieve it though.

Of course, and you should consider that with *some* VCS:s it's very
easy to keep multiple projects in a single repository (e.g. CVS and
SVN), in others it's not really doable at all (e.g. GIT and HG).

Sometimes it's a disadvantage, sometimes it's exactly what the doctor ordered :)
