Wouldn't that result in a situation where you can use the dropdown to show more entries, but would often not be able go back to show less entries, as the dropdown won't be displayed?
That's the main argument against it. The counter argument is you can use the browser's back button or refetch the URL without the count= fragment, but there is concern that there could be circumstances where that doesn't work.
I see now what the problem is and Thomas has changed my mind. Always show pulldown. It's janky to have to use the back button after changing the number per page larger, and it goes away. No one wants janky. :)
