        Actually, I don't think it'd have to break anything.

        Leave the old global variable in place and create methods
        to access it the 'new' way so that it can be documented.

        If there's any docs for the old technique, mark it deprecated
        in favor of the new methods.

        It's a win-win! Could be 1.3.x I think.
