Cool. Let's hope this works.

I just thought of something, too: Apache Bloodhound is supposed to be "Trac
+ What-You-Really-Need" bundled together. Given the explosion of BH
registrations over the past two weeks, it seems this might be one of those
"necessary" plugins to bundle.

Arguably: in a LAN/workplace setting, this isn't needed. But any
public-facing installation apparently needs some kind of captcha/filtering
on user creation. Empirical evidence amply demonstrates this need :-)

Cheers,
