#60785: Bulk editing of posts (and pages) use a GET

 WordPress issues a GET with the arguments for doing a bulk edit, which
 means a limit of around 60 edits in one go (due to a 1000+ symbol limit).

 Any reason why bulk edits aren't done via POST? Is it due to 303 POST/GET
 conversion? Any other way to solve it so (only) POST could be used?

 Example of URL causing the issue (I tried to edit merely 600 posts):

 https://[somedomain]/wp-
 admin/edit.php?s=&post_status=all&post_type=post&_wpnonce=0ddbd96e67&_wp_http_referer
 =%2Fwp-
 admin%2Fedit.php&action=edit&m=0&cat=0&post_format=&paged=1&post_category%5B%5D=0&tax_input%5Bpost_tag%5D=&post_author=-1&comment_status=closed&ping_status=&_status=-1&sticky=-1&bulk_edit=Update&post_view=list&screen
