What does this entry in NEWS:
** All the default-FOO variables that hold the default value of the FOO
variable, are now declared obsolete.
mean for variable declaration in C such as this:
DEFVAR_LISP_NOPRO ("default-enable-multibyte-characters",
&buffer_defaults.enable_multibyte_characters,
doc: /* *Default value of `enable-multibyte-characters' for buffers not overriding it.
This is the same as (default-value 'enable-multibyte-characters). */);
Do we need to avoid such declarations? If so, how to do the
equivalent of that for buffer-local variables defined in C?

Yes, the aim is to get rid of them at some point.

I don't understand, why you'd need something equivalent.
Can you give us some details?

Very simply, I need to add a new buffer-local variable. The current
paradigm seems to be:
. Add a DEFVAR_LISP_NOPRO for its default value.
. Add a DEFVAR_PER_BUFFER for its buffer-local value.
. Add one or 2 one-liners to init_buffer_once to initialize
buffer_defaults and buffer_local_flags.
I'm asking what's the New Way of doing this?

Same as before, just skip the step number 1.

And what about the lines such as this:
buffer_defaults.overwrite_mode = Qnil;
Should we skip these as well?

No. These are important because they set the (default-value 'foo).
