Preserving information while moving to Trac

[Andy Dougherty]

This is just a general suggestion:  I understand that moving to Trac is a 
good opportunity to clean out old RT tickets.  However, when moving 
tickets to Trac, please do be careful not to throw out important 
additional information.  I don't know if there's an easy way to bring over 
an entire old ticket, but sometimes there's a lot of useful information 
buried down below the first entry.

Two examples:  

39742 [BUG] installed parrot conflicts with dev parrot. (now Trac #30)
    and 
41168 [CAGE] graceful "no compiler" error message?  (now listed as 
	"resolved", though I think that "stalled" might be a
	better description)

These both contain a lot of information that I think is still relevant
and that I hope will someday be useful.  It would be a shame if all that
were simply discarded.

I don't mean in any way to single out these two tickets -- they are just
the first two examples that I stumbled across.  I'm sure there are many
tickets with many thoughtful contributions from many contributors.  It
would be nice to make sure those contributions aren't lost or forgotten.
