Essentially an Enhanced Trait is a Normal Trait (Feats, Attack, Defense, Skills) bought as a Power.
The cost is the same but the Trait may now be treated as a Power and as such may have Extras, Flaws, Drawbacks and Extra Effort applied to it. It also may be Drained, Mimicked and Nullified as a Power.
During Character Creation though Enhanced Traits should be closely inspected for rules abuse but fits many concepts
Enhanced Traits are in the Book Ultimate Power page 47 if you have that source material and is considered an expansion of Enhanced Ability in the main M&M rulebook.
Let me give it some thought. I'm ordering Ultimate Power from my local shop today. Might be ten days till I get it, although I may have an opinion before that. Still haven't heard from Green Ronin about posting their content. I will send a follow up personal message today. there was a lot of good discussion in the discussion thread. Maybe we could move it over here?

But you're not allowed to vote on your own proposal--it's against the rules of Living Supers

Enhanced Traits is one of my favorite aspects of M&M 2E, since it makes it easier to represent certain things.
Want to give your battlesuit some targeting arrays? Give it ranks in Enhanced Attack, or Enhanced Feats (Attack Focus [Ranged]).
Want to build a Doctor Who-esque Sonic Screwdriver? Device 1 (5pp, easy to lose) (Enhanced Skills 5 [Craft/Electronic +6, Craft/Mechanical +6, Disable Device +8]).
Want someone who was blessed to always have "coin enough for comfort, coin enough for company"? Give them Enhanced Feats 2 (Benefit 2 [Wealth x2]). As a magical blessing (built with Enhanced Feats), it can be boosted (by either Boost or Extra Effort), or Drained, or even temporarily Nullified by some outside agent.

Well, I'm actually in favour of this proposal, but I'm against giving Judges the ability to vote for their own proposals. Keeping it the other way has worked fine in LEB and LEW.

Joking aside. (as this was meant to be a huge threads wide *poke* at our voting)
It has been 6 months on this proposal and longer on others. Even if my vote does not count in the tally it served its purpose. To actually get some votes and opinions on proposals left in limbo.
That's cool. I hope this passes--if Sierra's game actually gets going and she gains any PP, I really want to make Fascinate a power so that she can change the action from Standard to Move for an extra PP. Fascinate as a Move + her voice power as a Standard == Fun!
I really need to start to do something with all those threads in waiting. After thinking of it, I think as long as we make sure there is no abuse and it has a nice background with that there should not be a problem. YES

I think this was in by the back door anyway as approved characters are already making use of it. Its no more abusable than a lot of other things.
It was in by the front door, actually. It was voted in before HoV voted just now. A lot of these are already passed.
