Not rubbish - that would be quite useful. The only problem is it would
be a somewhat limited use case. Many users never go near their css/js,
so it would just be another checkbox for them to ignore, and those who
do use global css/js would just as likely have wider scope issues than
that - only works on english projects, only applies where they have
rollback, or don't have rollback, etc - and at that point it would be a
lot easier and more effective for them to just add a check to the
particular script/css rule that it is on an applicable project before it
runs.
Although that does assume the user actually understands what they're
putting in their user css/js files.

I think we should have a checkbox in Preferences where we can switch off
global JS and CSS for the wiki where this checkbox is set/unset. Let's
imagine I have a script which fits well for every project but Wikidata.
Then I go to the preferences and just disable the global script in Wikidata.

Has anyone looked at allowing a user to have

all WMF wikis?
I know you can hack it with a mw.loader.load on all the wikis you use,
but it would be useful if CentralAuth had it built in.
Is there a bug for this?
It seems so, yes:

Bug:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/13953 Yes, it would be really lovely to get
this enhancement fulfilled
(either with that or new code); it's now on the backlog for "admin
tools development"[*].
(I speak conflicted, as someone who's used the bot to fake this
globally for my staff account.)
