Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 >  This is not a WP BC-break though, but a PHP Core one,

 What is the distinction? If you were expecting that global to be
 backfilled, your code will break.

 > Conclusion: As it is never used in Core, this might be an entry point
 for which plugins expect the variable to exist and leaving it in place
 doesn't do any actual harm.

 Do you no longer think that then?
