> This is a move backward, IMO.

Yet, that's what we're doing and I have every intention to remove
frame-local vars, so if you want your code to keep working in the
future, better move away from make-variable-frame-local.

> Consider minor mode `tool-bar-here-mode',

If you want a frame-local minor mode, you can do

  (define-minor-mode foo-mode nil
    :variable (frame-parameter nil 'foo-mode)
    ...)
