I think that's, like other stuff, a case-by-case decision. For example I
don't think it's a good idea to drop magic_quotes in a version which
doesn't include a big BC break. Unfortunately many applications are
half-secure by this setting but absolutely insecure once that's changed
and people update without reading docs - especially if a quick test
shows no errors.

With finally dropping register_globals I won't have problems.
