One day, we may offer further customization of this page. This may include the ability to show more items. I think this is preferable to a "classic view" option, which sets a bad precedent - that every time we make a UI change we'll carry the burden of supporting the old way too forever. It adds to the testing matrix and raises the opportunity cost of making ambitious UI changes.
