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.
