Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Welcome back to Trac, @taraschr.

 While there is a recent trend in keeping WordPress core modern (with error
 handlers, PHP 5.6 as minimum PHP version, etc), WordPress still tries to
 be vastly compatible with millions of existing sites.

 I suppose the first steps would be add support for composer packages,
 which would then allow to use a container like Pimple. It wouldn't make
 sense to allow containers/service locators for classes that are already
 instantiated and just scattered every where... i.e how things are right
 now.

 I welcome you to join the Slack channel to have a conversation with core
 maintainers, specially `#core-php` on this.
