Comment (by cboos at bct-technology.com):

 That even sounds like ''milestone'' to me...

 What about a little rework of the '''Roadmap''' module
 and the ticket and milestone objects.

 Let me explain the idea.

 Instead of having distinct ticket and milestone objects
 as we have now, we should only have tickets, but different categories
 of tickets:
  * {{{ER}}} Enhancement Request (simple)
  * {{{PR}}} Problem Report (simple)
  * {{{Milestone}}} ... like the milestones we already have (aggregate)
  * {{{MasterTicket}}} ... like suggested initially (aggregate)
  * {{{Deployments}}} see #821 (simple)
  * {{{Task}}} anything else (simple)
  * ... etc. (the list can be customized

 They would have a different icon for the timeline view.

 The '''Roadmap''' module could show the (aggregate) categories:
 Milestones, Master Tickets, ...

 A (simple) ticket can be attached to an (aggregate) ticket:
  * to a milestone, as it is done now (display in the combobox only
 available milestone tickets)
  * to a master ticket (display in that combobox only available master
 tickets)

 It remains to be seen if an (aggregate) ticket could itself be
 attached to another (aggregate) ticket...
 A master ticket attached to a milestone makes sense.



 The great unification... :) (and we need to parse smileys too!)
