The point is that breakage is aggregated, not binary. The more stuff we break, the more difficult it is to port, and frankly, it's quite likely that a non OO app could migrate fairly cleanly even to PHP 6 with unicode disabled (perhaps with minor fixes). get_magic_quotes_gpc() is designed for apps to do something differently depending on the value of magic_quotes_gpc. It's fine that it's always off in PHP 6, but there's no reason not to keep this function (to always return false) so that you don't have to fix God knows how many lines of code to remove it.
yes .. php script thats worked with gpc off (and that had some code to detect if its on and act accordingly) should still work without change.
