It's right. Development isn't just fixing bugs. Development also
involves making improvements.

The Arch Linux Flyspray bugtracker is just about one side of Arch Linux
development: fixing bugs.

Making improvement should be discussed in a development mailing list and
I think this is the only place suitable for discussing Arch Linux
development, mostly regarding improvements.

* For the newly elected TU, can you help with packaging new 'links'
* package, so that it's available from the repository, at least make a
* staging to test repository.
