Don't think it's possible for it to be global as it runs off the server clocks, and different servers are on different machines. There'd be no way to sync them without the clocks occasionally losing some time(potentially bad for scripts relying on their accuracy).

The server clocks being so off is a major problem, but Stefan has stated concern with updating them because it could put some server clocks back as far as a day or so, meaning that scripts that run checks on timevar2 would be a day behind(thus, say if a server used timevar2 to lock you out from something, it'd be open a day earlier suddenly). More important scripts like banks or something could be potentially more dangerous.
