Description

As @jeremyfelt noted in #39419 and #34217, there are two globals used in ms-settings.php that are no longer used anywhere else by core, $site_id and $public.

Can we explore removing these?

Thanks for the patch, @tejas5989!

It looks like we need to be careful with $site_id. ​VaultPress is using it for something, likely in the WPCOM environment. If anyone has details on the safeness of removing that, please chime in. :)

I've poked around quite a bit and can't find anyone using $public. I feel pretty comfortable about removing that one, but will keep digging.

I really want to do this, but I don't think it's worth it. There are too many unknowns out there as to how these might be used and it doesn't harm much to leave them in. I think we can document them as deprecated in #39419.
