 > does .com still use global terms?

 I believe it still uses a form of Global Terms, although I don't believe
 it's using the WordPress Global Terms code directly - it appears a custom
 plugin is in use (and likely was before the code was in core I think).

 I know it was disabled on a subset of sites around the time of term
 splitting, but I don't believe WordPress.com ever removed it entirely.

 > If WP.com still uses global terms, they may be the only ones.

 9 years later, I bet that holds true; I'd be surprised if many sites
 remain that use global terms intentionally.
