--- Comment #4 from Brad Jorsch <[email protected]> ---
COUNT queries can be expensive, and there is no interesting use case.

The use case you proposed on en:WP:VPT, showing a count in the "what links
here" link to determine if something is orphaned, would work equally well if
you did just the one backlinks query and displayed ">500" or "501+" or the like
if it would need continuation (and really, you could probably limit it to even
less for that particular use case).
