"It works this way since PHP3" means "it works right" even if there was a bug in PHP3. That's because thousands of people could rely on this behaviour (which is, I repeat, very well documented and pretty much expected).
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.
