[Solved] Security warning - register global variables

[Deak]

When installing CMSMS (1.6, although I don't believe it's isolated to this version) I get a warning, not a failure, saying:

PHP register globals is active. For security reasons, this should be disabled.

Out of curiosity, what was the thinking behind having this disabled? How serious is it not to do this?

As an aside, the documentation link doesn't actually work for this warning:
