that the chechuser table is created by an extension and not by

untill CU is merged into the trunk
As Daniel explained, the proposal is to disable the functionality
except for wikis with an extension providing the past-IP data
installed. On these wikis, the data would be provided by means of a
hook.
Yep. But it's a bit painful... hmpf.
Of course, this is pointless if you can filter
out rc_ip with a view
on the toolserver...
No - the problem is, if it is on the toolserver at all, wmde might be sued
into
revealing it. So it would be nice to not copy it there. Hiding it from
*users*
is not the issue, we have been doing that for years.
If the current concern is the toolserver, and the toolserver never actually
uses this info, shouldn't it be possible to set up a process that routinely
wiped out those records? Not an ideal solution perhaps, but the contortions
you seem to be suggesting for the core don't strike me as ideal either.
