What about dropping CGI support for 0.12?
It was the first Trac frontend but nowadays it's too slow for almost any
use and also one of the hardest to get working.

As a transitional thing we could move it to trac-hacks.

I'm wondering what frontend you would recommend IIS users when dropping CGI
support. AFAIK there's no WSGI ISAPI extension out there that you could use
for production use, so CGI is the only choice.

tracd + proxy. Or use the new FCGI support assuming they didn't screw
it up.

That is what we do already: http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/trac/web/cgi_frontend.py
Trac is a purely WSGI-based app, all frontends are just wrappers for
that.
Really dropping CGI support is more a matter of removing it from the
docs and telling people we won't help them if they use CGI, I wouldn't
mind leaving the code to support since it is pretty minimal. There are
sometimes reasons to use CGI (suExec and the like, for example), but
it should be clear it exists only for expert users really.
