Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 > Trac is hard

 I can hear you in a joking way, but Trac isn’t any harder than any other
 issue tracker. Saying so kinda only perpetuates the myth? Please don’t
 blame the tools for the process problem of not a single person searching
 for an existing issue, the result of which is everyone gets a new tool
 that nobody will use correctly again.

 > I forgot this ticket

 You and everyone else, it looks like.

 The most frustrating part seeing leaders shut this down ''hard'' here, and
 then seeing the same exact ideas and work being iterated on elsewhere by
 other people, outside of this issue.

 Frankly, I don’t blame people one bit for doing it that way. Even if they
 had found this ticket, they’d have read the back & forth over an
 incredibly small improvement, and avoided all of what’s here just to get
 the job done and totally avoid the up-front human obstruction.

 This is why it’s so important to be open to all new ideas and changes, and
 to stop closing tickets and shutting people down. Most of the work is
 going to get done one way or the other, with or without the people that
 stand in the way. The only thing that comes from intentionally making
 things harder for each other, is failure.

 See also: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/9898 for another good
 example outside of WordPress where similar folly is taking place.
