Why does MW 1.5 still use HistoryBlobStubs?
Because the code was already there.
Wouldn't it be better
to add another id (or hash) column to the revision table that
references a specific text in a HistoryBlob, and move the flags column
there, too? This way one would also get rid of the $mDefaultHash
variable.
Yes it would be better, we know this. Maybe for 1.6. The nice thing
about the revision table is that it's small enough to be altered
quickly. I think you can expect to see a VARCHAR(255) field containing
something similar to a URI.
Speaking of which, are we going to have a report about external storage
in 1.4 from JeLuF or Domas?
