@EronWright the driving rationale is that the static variable is an anti
pattern which can cause problems which are hard to track and understand. E.g.
it is really hard to find out where the values are actually set which you
retrieve at another position via the static variable. Instead, we should always
pass the respective configuration objects to the respective components.
