Well, I'm slightly lost, but if you're referring to the documents which
will appear in the "Topics" in the left hand column, then yes, we'll wish
to retain the ability to customise the order in which these appear.
However, this can be done later. The yelp which is currently in feisty has
not yet been updated with the new order of documents/topics.

What are you referring to here by "links"? We'll probably want to retain
the ability for translators to localise links to support resources on the
internet, where for example their community provides free support for that
language.
