 nickm says:

 My suggestion would be to change how OBSOLETE is implemented: it doesn't
 really make sense as a type. Instead, there should be an "empty" type for
 fields that can't be read or written, and a CFLG_OBSOLETE flag that causes
 these warnings. The CFLG_OBSOLETE flag should be handled at the confvar
 layer, I think.

 This is a bug caused by sponsor 31, so it's a must-have.
