Comment (by kkmuffme):

 >It's funny you mention 15 years, since this was initially done almost
 exactly 15 years ago

 Can you explain me how that's relevant?

 >According to the commit message, the intention was to eliminate the need
 for isset() checks.
 >It could be argued that it is better to simply use isset() checks, but it
 has been like this for so long now that changing it would likely cause
 issues for existing plugins.

 Did you read the original ticket or look at the PR? Bc it seems you didn't
 understand any of it.
 It's not about removing the declaration, it's changing it to '/' from ''.
 This has no implications or changes to if or when isset() is needed.
