This variable is set but never used in OE-core and meta-oe. It
was historically used for the Opie collection but seems to be
unused now.

There are many BSPs that are still defining it and angstrom depended on
it which now defines it lazily since its not in bitbake.conf anymore
but I wonder if machine confs which define it should also remove it
