The same problem affects `pi`.  For this reason it's declared obsolete
in NEWS and in its docstring but not with `make-obsolete` :-(

Maybe we should change the byte-compiler so it doesn't issue
obsolescence warnings when the variable is lexically scoped?

So we'd issue a warning for

    ... values ...

but not for

    (let ((values ...)) ... values ...)

?
