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.
Approximate pseudocode:
Instead of selecting rc_ip in the Block class, use the following
$ips = array();
wfRunHooks( 'UserGetPastIPs', array( $user, &$ips ) );
In the CheckUser extension, hook this:
function onUserGetPastIPs( $user, &$ips ) {
// Add IPs found by checkuser extension to the $ips array.
}
Of course, this is pointless if you can filter out rc_ip with a view
on the toolserver...
