Strangely enough, the flaggedrevisions feature seems to provide a lot of what we need:
- People don't have to watch changes as they happen, they can stumble on
them when they go to save a new change 2) Changes are marked as patrolled, so far more efficient than 10 people all noticing the same change on their watchlist and deciding no action needs to be taken.
3)The massive backlog in patrolled edits will kill the instant feedback wikipedia currently gives and reduce editing to a level where watching everything is no longer a problem.
...except both patrolled and unpatrolled edits are intended to be visible immediately.

I doubt that "your edit has, if you look closely, not yet been ticked off by a system that you don't see unless you look at it" is going to kill the instant-editing culture, somehow.
