I can not answer this but personally I have stopped using class 
variables after
- i had a smallish bug which was caused by a stupid usage I did long ago 
of a class variable
- there really is not a huge need to use a class var in the first place 
(in my opinion and experience).

So personally, for me, I have found that I can live perfectly happy 
without class vars, and in these times, whenever I can achieve the same 
with a very simple easy route, I use it. There may be a few valid use 
cases for a class var but I honestly have never seen them as being very 
important.
