I have been substituting the word `hack` with `plugin` on trac-hacks.org, as this nomenclature aligns better with the common developers vocabulary. These substitutions have taken place in wiki pages, however also in the trac-hacks code there are places where the word `hack` appears, see attachments. Is there a roadmap to completely remove the word `hack` from trac-hacks.org and would this constitute a good start?

There is no roadmap or plan to remove the work "hack". In some instances it makes sense to use the word "plugin", but I don't think we should aim to completely remove the "hacks" from "trac-hacks".
