You’re right, our goal is to have all context information (including the user)
be put in the Execution Context.
However, currently, we’re in a transition phase, trying to move from the old
XWikiContext to the new ExecutionContext and thus a lot of information is
currently still held in the XWikiContext.
See the details here:
