Description

In internal discussions re: IPv6 deployment for Wikimedia, we found that some of our large sites such as en.wikipedia.org have a recentchanges.rc_ip column that is not wide enough to hold IPv6 addresses.

Since CheckUser has long since taken over all other roles rc_ip used to hold for logging, if we can let CheckUser also handle this we'll be able to simply turn off $wgPutIPInRC and leave rc_ip entries empty without having to worry about it.

Will need backport to 1.17.

Is there already a way to add block options via hook? Maybe we could just defined an autoblock handler callback (setable via extension) and only show the option if it's set.

The functionality isn't currently in either the old or new blocking code, but it could be much more easily added in the new (1.18+) code.
