Comment(by dd32):

 Except its hardly Legacy, And is used more often in WP every version.
 Generally only or comparison of action args. Its rarely used for data
 which may include slashes, infact, pretty much unheard of.

 there was a recent changeset which forces $_REQUEST to be $_GET + $_POST,
 so it removes most of the usual PHP-arguements against using $_REQUEST.
