They haven't been removed and will still be in 23.1, except:
"Variables cannot be both buffer-local and frame-local any more."
However, something seems broken. This works as it should:
emacs -Q
(setq foo 'bar)
(make-variable-frame-local 'foo)
; [1]
(set-frame-parameter nil 'foo t)
foo ; -> t [2]
(make-frame)
foo ; -> bar in new frame, still t in old frame [3]
If you add an extra evaluation of `foo' at point [1] (after making it
frame local, but before adding a frame parameter), then at point [2]
you get 'bar rather than t. After you make a new frame, it starts
working (at [3]).

I mentioned it's obsolete.

I tweaked it.
