Superglobals are bad for you. Why would you ever want the service manager as superglobal?
Keep things in your scope, inject wherever possible and avoid leaking out of your class' responsibilities. Things get ugly really fast with static variables and global variables, so simply don't do it! So yes, the solution is injecting the config (mustn't be the global one, you can inject $config['your_stuff']) and generally what you need in your models/services. That's IOC basics and there's nothing bad about it :) I personally don't like `ServiceLocatorAware` (and other `Aware` interfaces) either, so I personally just inject everything I need at `__construct`.
