The length of time the data is kept in the recentchanges table is
actually highly variable. It's nominally one week, though I think en:
is currently set to 4 weeks. It depends what the database admins want
it at for whatever purpose, balanced against how much space it takes
up. The longer the more useful for our purposes, of course ;-)
