Hi Peter,

long story short: AFAICT it's a deprecated or moved configuration entry inside
the file /etc/machine-info and should be safe to just delete, maybe even with
the whole file machine-info itself.

On my machine with openrc and systemd-boot I don't even have /etc/machine-info
at all and things work fine together. To me it looks as the variable was just
thrown out of the machine-info file and in case you would need it you should
put it into /etc/kernel/install.conf.

I don't know which software uses the string. If you compile your kernel
manually or using the gentoo-kernel packages it seems to be not necessary.

(But as always when taking advice from strangers on the internet: First make a
backup, have a live medium for recovery at hand and test it yourself.)

Kind regards,
Nils
