### Problem

It is easy to make malicious or accidental edit that involves dragging note across the world.

### Description

In some rare cases it is preferable to make edit with huge changeset size,

But this kind of edits are (1) rare (2) rarely done by new mappers.

While many vandals do them as a new accounts.

Maybe blocking edits with huge changeset size for new mappers, or causing them to quicker exhaust edit quota would be useful and doable?

Main problem is that it may block new mappers from say adding language label to USA/Russia.

Some of previously applied restrictions for new user accounts: #4196 #3135 #2342 #1543
