We can specify parents≤id> and get all the tickets that are direct children of a specified ticket. This patch allows users to be able to see ALL the descendants of such a ticket if root≤id> is used.

I'm sorry, I think I just wasn't clear enough in my description. This is in regards to something such as
[[TicketQuery(id=123)]]
This patch allows you to include
[[TicketQuery(root=123)]]
which then shows ticket 123 and all it's descendants.

That's certainly a valid way to implement ticket hierarchies, but we are aiming at a somewhat more generic solution with #31 and #886, TracDev/Proposals/TicketLinks and TracDev/Proposals/TracRelations. So at this point, we would rather not integrate a limited solution.

Right, in plain Trac, you have no notion of descendants… You must be using TH:ChildTicketsPlugin or TH:SubticketsPlugin, or similar. An extension to the core implies the mechanism would useful and adaptable to any plugin.
We referred you to #31, but note also that the more precise ticket for ticket hierarchies is #886, and the SubTickets page. My own current thinking about subtickets (in light of the GenericTrac proposal) is that the ticket id should reflect the hierarchy: a subticket would have an id of e.g. #10231.1, and so on; as a side effect queries for retrieving all tickets in a hierarchy would be trivial…)
