Interesting thing that seems to have happened on the wiki mentioned above whose Forum was disabled completely before moving to Discussions is that a post made by the only user who posted on the wiki's forum still counts in their masthead edit count, but not on Special:Editcount. It also doesn't appear in deleted contributions (unlike their namespace-less deleted blog contributions), so it is entirely possible that the masthead edit count is stored separately and never decreased when a previously made revision is gone from the database. We don't know if this will be the case on the UCP, though, but the issue of preserving the edit count after getting rid of Forum/Wall posts doesn't sound like an issue for Discussions and rather an issue with how the new profile system will be built.
