I think Trac should support project planning as an internal functionality, not just an external plug-in... although all options within the functionality should be able to be disabled in the Admin page in case project does not require it. About that I think you are all missing some things, there are two concepts within Project planning: 1- Resource Planning, and 2- Resource Tracking. Understand "Resource" as time, workers, spendable objects (as paper, ink, etc) and long life objects(as hammers, computers, etc)... Resource Planning aims to set tasks (macro-tasks at beginning, that will most likely be composed of other tasks as the project advances), task dependency (four dependency types), estimated task's start and duration time, estimated milestone dates, set each worker's working time and dates, assign workers to tasks, assign time to objects that require it, assign objects to tasks and/or to workers, and so but all that before project starts the hard working. Now, Resource Tracking aims to set task's REAL start and end date, moving subsequent task's start and end dates for next tasks at user wish or simply leaving empty time when wanted, reassign workers and objects to tasks, reassign worker's working time and then reschedule the whole subsequent tasks according to that, rearrange task's dependencies TimeAndEstimation plugin solves SOME of the features in Resource Tracking, MasterTickets almost solves 2 dependency types, etc... but no plugin solves everything needed en project planning.
