I wonder how many people are using this value? This is kind of a catch-22, but
the fact that people weren't clamoring for this change to be made earlier
suggests to me that not many people are using the value, or they would have
noticed how counterintuitive the situation was and said something. I'm not very
familiar with tool labs; if there a way we can do a keyword search to see what
uses they're making of log_page?

How does it change namespace filtering on Special:RecentChanges? It seems like
with or without the change in effect, when you filter by namespace, results
show up or don't based on the value of rc_namespace, i.e. the namespace you're
moving the page from (rather than to).
