I don't want to quibble about well intentioned advice:

 - It's not a _really_ a suggestion for improvement unless you
   have ideas about how to do it better.

 - Detailed suggestions about improvements (or complaints :-)
   are better off in Bugzilla, since things mentioned on the list

This especially would be better in Bugzilla. (Though the plan here is to
fix the application titles so that they almost never get ellipsized
instead of almost always get ellipsized.)
