Does Trac have similar capability? Reason I'm asking is that I think
*eventually* it would be very useful to have trac's ability to link
bugs, version control, wiki, etc. all together. I know it'll probably be
quite some time before that happens, but I'm sure that if we go with RT
it'll never happen.
