 Replying to [comment:80 F J Kaiser]:
 > It seems you missed the point with the previous notes and comments about
 the ''global state''.

 Evidently. Please elaborate on the points I missed.

 > Does the first {{{WP_Registry}}} suffer from accessing globals? Yes.

 I did not call out accessing globals as an issue.  Global state does not
 have to be held in globals to be problematic.

 > If you believe there is a need to discuss the community layer (for e.g.
 barrier for entry level devs), IDE support or yes-nos for using patterns
 in general further, I believe that Slack is a better route to address
 this.

 Since Slack is not segmented by ticket, I have no idea what a valid entry
 point would be where all those interested in the topic would have any
 reasonable chance of being involved in the discussion. This ticket is
 about introducing what I would consider harmful idioms and so it seems the
 right place to discuss it.
