Out of interest is there any data here to describe why having an edit source link in sections is needed?

fwiw: why do I edit at section level?
* To skip the big bunch of text and templates above. VE makes this need less relevant.
* To get the title of the section automatically as comment for my edit, which in many cases is good enough. If VE would support this I would be happier.
* Years ago someone told me that risks of edit collision are less this way. I still don't know whether this is true or not, but at least feels good. No idea whether VE improves the situation or not.
That's it. If VE would deeal with details you find in sections as good as wikitext (images & captions, small templates, ref & cite...) I would have no good reason to go back to wikitext other than habit.
