Yeah, I read this a couple of months ago.

Though removing (register_globals, magic_quotes...) is something they 
have been trying to work towards since PHP4. Register globals should 
always be off anyway, unless you like having hackers banging on your 
scripts. Magic quotes I've never used so I'll never miss. Long var's 
is just extra typing, any "newbie" should only be able to find books 
showing the short var syntax anyway.
