 5.6?

 Reverting is definitely not an option as it will cause more trouble (no
 clean revert possible, translators have to re-translate/approve due do
 strings moving around, reintroducing i18n issues) than providing a simple
 fallback/deprecation for the few plugins using the globals as suggested by
 Joost.
