For what it's worth, it's not anymore. It used to be, but current ES
makes it a readonly non-configurable property of the global. Not sure
to what extent UAs have caught up with the spec on that.
Of course in cases like this:
function foo(undefined) {
// Code using "undefined" here loses
}
you still have a problem....
