Yes, the above basically says to not make any entries in any RecentChanges
pages, so neither {$Group}.RecentChanges nor Site.AllRecentChanges are
updated.

To exclude just Site.AllRecentChanges, one would use

    unset($RecentChangesFmt['Site.AllRecentChanges']);

Yes.

It works for any PmWiki 2.x.x install.

Only if you want to eliminate the per-group RecentChanges page as
well as Site.AllRecentChanges.  I suspect you want to keep what you have
now.
