that is great to hear! i even would appreciate if the most important
plugins make it into trac as well (not enabled by default), e.g.

easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/tracwysiwygplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/ticketdeleteplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/ticketchangeplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/customfieldadminplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/tagsplugin/tags/0.6/
easy_install http://svn.ipd.uka.de/repos/javaparty/JP/trac/plugins/tracnav-0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/sectioneditplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/extracturlplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/serversideredirectplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/masterticketsplugin/0.11/
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/autoupgradeplugin/0.11/

but, otoh, one can never package all python apps, so a possibility to
quickly compile them with a default setting would be really nice :)
