$wgDefaultUserOptions['rcdays'] affects two different things: 1) the default Special:RecentChanges&days= 2) the default Special:RecentChanges&feed=...&days= It is maddening to try to make available longer or shorter RSS feeds without at the same time influencing what users see on Special:RecentChanges, and visa versa. The solution is to split $wgDefaultUserOptions['rcdays'] into two options, (yes, initially set to the same value by default there in DefaultSettings.php.) Yes, one could tell the user to remember to add a &days to &feed, but that is only for power users.
