+    # Ideas for improvement
+    # * Algorithm
+    #   * Objective function:
+    #     * affected user count,
+    #     * as specific as possible (roles, privileges)
+    #       -> counter-productive?
+    #     * as little changes as necessary
+    #   * Modify role, privilege hierarchy
+    #   * Merge, split roles
+    #   * Add privilege to existing rules
+    # * Features
+    #   * Improve review facts: impact, affected users count
+    #   * group similar candidates: only show abstract methods?
+    #   * restructure GUI layout: more room for analyzing suggestions
+    #   * changelog, previous tests, etc.
+    #   * different permissions in tests
+    # * Evaluation of approaches with Analyzer algorithms
+    # * Authorization constraints
+    #
+    # Algorithm
+    # * for each candidate
+    #   * abstract actions: solving first failing test (remove privilege from role)
+    #   * for each abstract action
+    #     * specific actions: concrete steps (remove privilege from specific role)
+    #     * for each specific action
+    #       * next if reversal action of previous step
+    #       * apply specific action on candidate
+    #       * save as solution if no failing tests on changed_candidate
+    #       * else: queue as candidate
+    # * equivalent states

+    # NOTE:
+    # * user.clone needs to clone role_symbols
