This is true within the context of the current "shared nothing" design of PHP. There has
been talk - and indeed existing implementations - of a more event-based system, where this state
would no longer be naturally global in any sense. But as I mentioned before, that ought to lead us
to designing a much more radical new representation, rather than just playing around with the
current superglobals.
