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.
