As said above: shortest build time.
I did not even think of the image size, actually :)

Good catch. I've had a quick look, and the only one that seems really
problematic is the link to bugs/pending from the bug reporting doc.

Anyhow, indeed it's not *that* easy, but it'll have to be done as part
of the migration to a different task manager, so I have added to
todo/better_task_manager:

  * [[!taglink todo/documentation]]: make sure our offline doc makes
    sense without `todo/*` and `bugs/*`


Say this is done. Do we agree with the initial proposal?

Cheers,
