Comment (by dd32):

 > Rename the ui-copy focus to text-changes to clarify its purpose.

 Unfortunately focuses are actually a text-field, not a category, and so
 renaming is not exactly possible.

 We can delete the `ui-copy` focus, and add a new `text-changes` focus, but
 that won't migrate the existing tickets. Additionally, it's not possibly
 to bulk-edit tickets from the Trac UI to change the focus field, without a
 systems request to run a find-replace on the field.

 Instead of a systems request, We might be able to add a method to our
 custom Trac WP-API, which will allow running a SQL against the Trac DB to
 do that find-replace.

 > Remove the "Text Changes" component in favor of the focus.

 I'm not sure how Trac handles deleted components for existing tickets that
 are already closed on the component, I'd want to verify what happens there
 first before actioning this. I suspect it's fine and it'll continue to
 show the old component, just make it harder to query for them
 retroactively.
