Comment(by hakre):

 ("'Quote' on Quote") Simple fact is, WordPress uses/expects the $_REQUEST
 data not to be slashed. If you say A for _POST and _GET, then you must say
 B for_REQUEST. If you argue to keep up with the status quo, then this is
 an argument against changing current $_REQUEST data.

 If you decide to change the current slashing of the superglobals
 containing request data, then I suggest to stop slashing them to improve
 the dataflow instead of repeating wrong decisions of the past.

 Additionally I have only asked that you link to the other ticket you used
 as argument. I know that there are a lot of tickets that are about
 slashing or not slashing data so I can not exactly follow your point until
 you link that certain ticket you meant. That's all. I know how to deal
 with the trac search, so please do not feel offended by me asking. I
 thought you have it in your browsers history or similar.
