Ed -- Nice. To be clear, I would still appreciate a multi-column
look, because for me that is a much clearer visualization of the
site's activity than looking at any single edit-size-range. It's like
a sparkline: you can get both a sense of flow and a feel for the
texture in the dimension of significance.
In fact, for the larger edits it might make sense to include 40 chars
of text from the update on a second line.
Reverts could show up as a thin red line between two edits, extending
to the side with the word "rv", with the article title available on
mouseover.
