You can only do SET GLOBAL if you have SUPER privilege. Isn't that
enough to ensure no one does it by mistake?

Don't think there is an easy way to disable global for non super user.

Sergei should know (as he implemented this) and he should also be able
to add an option that variables should not be settable by SET GLOBAL.
