There are a wide class of possible improvements / fixes that are too small to bother adding to the TODO list, but should still be recorded somewhere. Recording those improvements in the source code seems better than not recording them at all.
Also, minor improvements to some part of the implementation are typically dependent on their context in the source code. Since TODO entries are often lacking in context as it is, I don't think trying to move everything to the TODO list would be wise.
