Wrong dblog_cron() description

What are flood control events anyway? Oh I see... In Drupal 5, the watchdog module had a {flood} table, and the watchdog_cron() function deleted old events (older than an hour) from that table. It looks like this functionality (whatever it was), vanished in Drupal 6.

And no, this doesn't apply to D8 -- the doc doesn't mention flood control events, and the documentation looks good there.

Anyway, good call -- yes we need to delete the part of the docs that mentions flood control events from d6 and d7 docs for dblog_cron().

I edited the dblog.module file and removed the flood control events reference. I am attaching a patch for D7, I assumed I should create a separate comment for the D6 patch. Is that correct?

Here is the patch for D6, is it all right to have multiple patches in the same thread for different versions of Drupal?

tomgeekery: regarding multiple version patches - the short answer is "No, wait". For a longer explanation:
http://drupal.org/node/1319154#multiple-versions

Anyway. The patch for d7 looks fine and I committed it to 7.x.

I also reviewed the patch in #4 for Drupal 6.x, and I think it's ready to be committed. Thanks! (I'll ask the test bot to re-test just in case after I change the status/version.)

#4: d6-remove-floor-control-dblog_cron-function-doc-1814760-4.patch queued for re-testing.

Thanks, I apologize for the mix up. Thanks for being so helpful!

Committed to 6.x -- thanks all!
