And so why are we losing register_globals? For a LOT of code they work
and removing rg is sure as hell a BC for a lot of code. And we move
forward without it (along with magic_quotes and other dead wood). I
think this is just another one of those "yeah, well, we made a
decision a LONG time ago and now we are changing it" for a more
consistent approach.

Just because it was written down, doesn't mean it is right.
(Bible/koran/etc being perfect examples!)
