In the original `KeyboardioFirmware`, this was used to store the default keymap
index in EEPROM. When we removed the EEPROM storage, it was meant to be used by
sketches to set a default layer (the minimum layer one can switch to), which was
not nearly as useful. Even worse, the behaviour was complicated to reason about,
and it wasn't used anyway.
For these reasons, it is now deprecated, and will eventually be removed.

## Deprecated APIs and their replacements
### Removal of Layer.defaultLayer
The `Layer.defaultLayer()` method has been deprecated, because it wasn't widely used, nor tested well, and needlessly complicated the layering logic. If one wants to set a default layer, which the keyboard switches to when booting up, `EEPROMSettings.default_layer()` may be of use.
`Layer.defaultLayer` is slated for removal by **2019-02-14**.
### Finer OneShot stickability control
The [OneShot plugin](doc/plugin/OneShot.md) has much improved stickability control. Instead of only being able to control if one-shot layers should be stickable too, or disabling the sticky feature in general, it is now possible to control stickiness on a per-key basis with the new `OneShot.enableStickability()` and `OneShot.disableStickablity()` methods.
