There is an option (in the form of a wg variable). This restriction is related
to how long things are stored in recentchanges table. The default is actually 3
months. Wikimedia has it set lower. Some wikis (like translatewiki) have it set
to much higher.

That's the same amount of expensiveness as the top only flag (Which can be
expensive for some queries, but we're already doing it). In fact its almost the
same query ( rev_parent_id = 0 vs rev_parent_id = page_latest ). My only
concern is that the form at the top of special:contribs is becoming a bit long.

meh, less a fan of this idea. Making up old log entries would kind of suck.

I would recommend option B
