Sure!  In local/Main.Blocklist.php:

   $RecentChangesFmt = array();

says to not update any RecentChanges pages when Main.Blocklist is
edited.  If you want to just block Main.RecentChanges but allow
Main.AllRecentChanges, do:

   unset($RecentChangesFmt['$Group.RecentChanges']);

I'll add scripts/sysdiff.php back into the distribution for beta32,
this will let you go back to running the OS-supplied version
of diff(1) (on those systems that can support it).
