Hi,

The E3 team (that's Dario, Matt, S, Steven, & me) proposes to generalize the implementation of watchlists by adding support in core for multiple generic, user-specific lists of pages. We think that such functionality could be used to implement a broad range of useful features, some of which have been requested repeatedly over the years. We also think that implementing this would be a matter of clarifying and simplifying infrastructure that already exists in core, albeit obscured by an unreasonably tight coupling to the notion of watchlists.

We'd like to know what you think, so we're filing an RFC. You can read it here:
