+1 to this
i think it's very bad idea to break backwards compatibility - it will
make thousands of working systems non-operational (for example, if a hosting
admin 'upgrades' php to the version which has input filtering)

i don't think it's a good idea either - all existing scripts would
require adding filter_restore_raw_data() call. i think, it's better to do a
filter call in quite opposite way:
filter_data() function that would do filtering for superglobals; those
who need it can call it manually
