If VFD were kept, how about un-inlining the closed vfds, and giving
links to them instead? Would make the CSDs clutter it somewhat less.

Some numbers:
31/07 - 102
30/07 - 121
29/07 - 137
28/07 - 130
27/07 - 130
26/07 - 132
25/07 - 108
ie, 860 over a week at the end of July, versus
31/01 - 58
30/01 - 69
29/01 - 76
28/01 - 67 (one of which I remember, sigh)
27/01 - 65
26/01 - 69
25/01 - 63
at the end of January, a mere 468. Numbers don't included cases where
many pages were listed together (there was one last week with over
20!), but I suspect they scale to the rest of VfD - so almost doubling
in six months?
It's trickier to get numbers for a year ago, so I won't try it now,
but I'd guess at maybe 250/week? In a few months, the day-at-a-glance
VfD page will get to the length it was a year before,
week-at-a-glance... when it was already straining.
Leaving aside the inherent problems of the VfD process, there's an
obvious scaling issue there. The recent WP:CSD expansions will stem
the tide a bit - a lot of VfDs are "playing safe nominations" of
speedy candidates anyway, but...
I have absolutely no idea what to do about it, so I'm glad someone
seems to have enough suggestions to get a debate going :-)
