[yocto] is *anyone* using BBVERSIONS?

  really more of a bitbake question but ... i'm also zipping through
the inline user manual that comes with bitbake and in section 2.1.20,
there is a discussion of Variants that includes:

BBVERSIONS = "1.0 2.0 git"
SRC_URI_git = "git://someurl/somepath.git"

BBVERSIONS = "1.0.[0-6]:1.0.0+ \
              1.0.[7-9]:1.0.7+"
SRC_URI_append_1.0.7+ = "file://some_patch_which_the_new_versions_need.patch;patch=1"

  i have over a dozen layers checked out, and i don't see the use of
BBVERSIONS in *any* of them -- the only thing a recursive search turns
up is BBVERSIONS being mentioned in the docs.

  is this feature active? deprecated? just curious.
