The answer is generally "use the new store API" to replace
&synchronized or &persistent.  It's difficult to give a canonical
porting strategy as it depends on how the data is being
accessed/modified, though you can find a preview of the how-to port
document at [1].  Links and stuff will get rendered more nicely when
it's live on bro.org.
