Hi all
I wonder if the column rc_ip can be safely removed from mediawiki.
As far as I
know, it has been superceeded by the information in cu_changes, right?
rc_ip is used by the retroactive autoblock functionality (i.e. when a
user is first blocked, an autoblock is placed on the last IP address
they used, using rc_ip as the data source).
Hm... i guess that could be made to use cu_changes instead, using a hook like
"getPastUserIPs". That feels a little icky, but might still be worth it...
