It isn't. I'm just saying that usenewrc does not "look silly" without
extendwatchlist: it works perfectly.

And usenewrc is not one such option.

But this is just nitpicking on the language of comment 0... the point is, I
don't understand what you want to achieve by merging extendwatchlist into
usenewrc, could you elaborate on what's the use case?

Note that extendwatchlist also has its own downsides, in particular it
activates wllimit i.e. it limits the number of days you can see. On
mediawiki.org, it reduces my Special:Watchlist from 30 to 7 days; on en.wiki,
to 5 days (and that's after I've increased wllimit to 1000, which is the max,
and removed some very active pages).
