    <thetext>Migration guide to 4.3 states that AUTHOR variable has been removed.
But bitbake-getvar -f doc --value AUTHOR
still returns information about it.

&gt; Email address used to contact the original author(s) in order to send patches and forward bugs.

Also the variable is not part of BB_RENAMED_VARIABLES, so no warning is issued, when still being used.</thetext>
