pass your filters and search queries around whenever you pass the URL of
an edit form to someone else. So I would use a hash of the data and use it
as a key in the session. This key would then be passed around instead of
the info. But this could be changed later, I don't think it would be
backwards incompatible.

a filtered admin changelist view URL into an email and post it to a
colleague to show him exacly what I want him to notice. Using the session
would also go against REST (no ambiguous URLs).

The admin start page just uses URLs without filter parameters as it always
has.

> Sure. I totally agree :) What I was talking about was not the changelist
view itself. Of course that stays like it is. With an URL that you can
copy including the filters. What I meant was: While ''editing'' an item -
coming from a filtered changelist - it might not be so obvious that if you
copy the URL from the edit view and pass it to a fried he will be going
back to your custom-filtered change list.
Then I got your proposal wrong. I really don't think anyone wants to copy
an URL from an edit page with filters enabled. Forget everything I said.
