This feels like a case of "I need this for my particular code so OSG should have a core feature supporting it"... just so you personally can save a bit of coding. A contextID is pretty useless without more information about what the contextID is associated with - and the contextID can even be shared between contexts so its not even a unique way of determining what graphics context you are associated with. All the traversals that are tied to specific graphics contexts already have access to the osg::State object - both the cull and the draw, and this applies to whether you use SceneView, osgViewer, osgProducer or whatever you roll yourself. My feeling is that with a bit of consideration it should be easy to do what you want without grafting globals into the OSG.
