and the conclusion I meant to add: patrolling will,
potentially, be
able to supplant "RC patrol" as we know it now; because
patrolled-revisions is basically a tool for avoiding RC duplication
and for making revision-management easier. It will probably end up
about as backlogged as RC patrol can be, but at least it'll be
trackably so, and unpatrolled revisions will get weeded out over time
as newer edits are committed to the same page and then (hopefully)
checked.
Indeed. RC-patrol doesn't really get backlogged, things just get
missed. Patrolled edits should fix that and give us a good idea of
whether we would cope with switching everything to flagged revs.
