Subject: bug#19424: 23.4; incorrect byte-compiler warning for `mode-line-format'
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:23:30 -0800 (PST)

This is the warning:

    Warning: `default-mode-line-format' is an obsolete variable
    (as of Emacs 23.2); use `mode-line-format' instead.

That is incorrect and useless.  Clearly, you cannot use
`mode-line-format' in place of `default-mode-line-format'.

The warning should instead say something like this, based on the doc
string:

    Warning: `default-mode-line-format' is an obsolete variable
    (as of Emacs 23.2); use `(default-value 'mode-line-format)' instead.
