True.  I recently downloaded a Wiki implemented in PHP, because I'm starting 
to learn to hate TWiki that I'm using now, and it expected all the globals to 
be in place.  I probably could have tweaked it enough to work in about 2 
hours, but... it's just wrong.  The change was made for a good reason.  
Painful transition, but necessary.
