We already do.

More generally we really need to pay attention to our data and rely on it more. I see far too many changes across the site based on guesswork and personal preferences and that's an anti pattern we need to reverse. Now we have a ux research team and ways to a/b test we can test different designs and see if they generate the correct behaviour. In this case I hope we will test to see if last modified at the top is driving more edits than putting it at the bottom. _______________________________________________
