Not as fast as revisions, and we seem to cope with those. On the
English Wikipedia, there were only ~27k anonymous edits per day over
the last month, so it would take 10 years to add 100M rows at that
rate, and the revision table has ~550M rows and we still haven't
bothered to shard it.
We shouldn't assume linear growth over a ten year period. Nonetheless,
the technical scalability problems are probably solvable.
