At the risk of being slightly sarcastic, wouldn't a
better solution be
to edit your own WatchList to remove things that you no longer really
need to watch?
No, I want a long Watchlist too, and I agree with Tarquin.
I want to know if *any* of these pages is edited, however minorly,
but I don't want to wait for them to load on the special page.
For my money, adopting the format of other special pages,
listing only the past 3 days or the past 30 edits by default,
will be quite sufficient; no need for new formats like dumb lists.
