Question: why DynamicSystems uses GLOBAL user variables?

Question:why DynamicSystems uses GLOBAL user variables?

I found that  DynamicSystems package uses global variable called s

THis makes zero design sense. Why would a package use a global variable that could have been used by a user? 

What is the correct way to prevent this warning message from showing up, as I have no control over what variable can be used in global space.  I also tried to declare s as local to the function that is using the package, but that did not help. Only way was to remove variable from global space before.

Any suggestions?  And why DynamicSystems is even using global symbols in first place?
