Although today, magic quotes is usually turned off (thank god), it is still possible
to enable it up to PHP 5.4. (where it was removed). It was not even marked deprecated
in PHP 5.2, which we still support! So it's okay if users still have magic_quotes enabled
(although it generally is a bad idea).
So I'd say we keep this as long as we support PHP < 5.4.
It doesn't hurt anybody.

Feel free to request this again once drop support for PHP 5.3.

you can simply FORCE people to turn it off, or force GPC off through code,
no one is supporting GPC today.

"or force GPC off through code"
How would you do that? You can't, because it cannot be configured at runtime.

I meant something like "you have GPC enabled, disable it'

anyway, it is not critical.. just saw it.

Hmm. Of course this would be an option. I think we already do this with register_globals
(although I don't see the real reason here - see related issue #15).

Are there many other popular scripts that don't support magic quotes any longer?
