Comment (by anarcat):

 So while I personnally believe we should migrate to GitLab for a variety
 of reasons, we may want to keep running Trac forever instead. I suspect
 that will not be the case, but I'm open to the idea.

 What I am strongly against, however, is running *both* software
 indefinitely. They are *both* complex pieces of machinery (GitLab maybe
 even more so) and it would me nonsensical to run them both at the same
 time. That would make basically *everyone* unhappy: people unhappy with
 trac or GitLab would still have to deal with it, and I, as a sysadmin,
 would still need to maintain both as well. That's the "status quo" option
 1, above, and I really think it's a bad idea.

 If we're going to use GitLab, we should migrate. I don't think it's
 reasonable to maintain both services forever. I must admit that I was
 assuming that, by setting up the GitLab instance, a decision had been made
 to migrate as well, but you are right that this decision hasn't been
 clearly made yet either.

 Therefore, this is also a space to have that discussion. I have heard
 rumours of concern about GitLab, but nothing clearly substanciated yet.

 Also, just to keep the idea open and recognize a decision hasn't actually
 been made, I'll add the "option zero" of not using GitLab at all and
 shutting down the experiment. I feel that's also the wrong way to go as
 people are generally enthusiastic about the project, but I'll keep an open
 mind. :)
