I have already impelemted ipb_by_text colomn, so zero-id users (anons and crosswiki) may block somebody. Required for crosswiki blocks.
I'm a bit leery of anon blocks, but this could be handy.
(In reply to comment #1) > I'm a bit leery of anon blocks I think we'll call that the understatement of the year (for now). Crosswiki blocks (something VasilievVV has pretty much finished implementing now) need this though. Note, though, that we'll have to fill the ipb_by_text fields for old entries based on their ipb_by, which will be a huge operation for large wikis.
Proposed patch is at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Crosswiki/Block/ipb_by_text.patch?view=markup
Introduced in r31057, marking bug as resolved.
