  actually, there are still a number of lines that refer to that
variable:

$ grep -rw PRIORITY *
meta/conf/bitbake.conf:PRIORITY = "optional"
meta/conf/documentation.conf:PRIORITY[doc] = "Importance of package, default values are 'optional' or 'needed'."
meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass:        fields.append(["Priority: %s\n", ['PRIORITY']])
meta/classes/package_ipk.bbclass:		fields.append(["Priority: %s\n", ['PRIORITY']])
meta/classes/oelint.bbclass:	# Test for valid PRIORITY
meta/classes/oelint.bbclass:	s = testVar("PRIORITY")
meta/classes/oelint.bbclass:				bb.note("PRIORITY '%s' is not recommended" % s)
meta/classes/oelint.bbclass:				bb.note("PRIORITY '%s' is not recommended, better use '%s'" % (s, newprio))
meta/classes/oelint.bbclass:			bb.note("PRIORITY '%s' is not recommended" % s)
meta/classes/oelint.bbclass:			bb.error("PRIORITY should only use lower case")
$

  if i can assume that all of that can be removed, i can do that as a
single patch, again unless someone else wants to handle it if there
are subtleties involved.
