--- Comment #20 from PiRSquared17 <pirsquare...@gmail.com> ---
I personally think just not recording the IPs at all [see comment 14] may be
the best way to go, since having to remove old (90 days) entries in a log seems
like something to avoid. Besides, the way the log works, one could just copy
all the IPs/usernames at once before it expires. Not very good for privacy.

Another solution would be to just not enable it at all on Wikimedia (i.e.
WONTFIX the bug).

That may be true in theory, but in practice it would most likely be possible to
correlate the IPs with creations of accounts around the same time or with
similar names.
