New Comment:
The change was apparently done because of an approved RFC. Changing to use E again would require
considering the security considerations and a new RFC.
Can you open a discussion on the internals list if you think this is still an issue to be discussed?

Description:
------------
The default php.ini-production[1] sets variables_order to "GPCS", which misses the
"E" for environment variables.
This change was introduced in revision 277363 on Tue Mar 17 19:19:17 2009 by johannes:

The wiki page writes:

Since superglobals are only registered when they are used by the code (JIT), there should not really
be a performance penalty, and E should be included in the default production setting.
