My memory was this was actually a strong unaminous consensus. The 
only benefits of the current setup of static HTML and Trac is it is 
virtually impossible to hack into, and therefore the maintenance cost 
is very low - so low we've lost root access because nobody needed 
root access for so long. I remember strongly advocating that any 
alternative to the existing setup needed support and maintenance 
costs factored into the decision matrix, and I had understood that 
was exactly what Michael was going to go investigate so he could give 
us some options.
