That's not quite the same.  $_SERVER is always global, whereas
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS is not.  (I.e. within a function you have
to declare $HTTP_SERVER_VARS global before using it.)

That (waiting) would get my vote.  It seems to me to be a weak reason
to break backward compatibility (and change existing working code).
I personally doubt that $HTTP_SERVER_VARS is going away any time soon,
and if it does, it can be brought back with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS = &$_SERVER.
