Use of $wgRequest could be deprecated and remove someday (T160810) and should be replaced also in wmf-config code.
A one-by-one replacement is with RequestContext::getMain()->getRequest(), better it is to use some inherit IContextSource, but it seems the arguments passed to the hooks does not provide a context source.
