This commit:
commit 536b73f55f51fcea555338f9a557fe86c09d00cb
Author: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: Sun Oct 11 10:21:20 2015 +0100
bitbake: data_smart: Only support lowercase OVERRIDES
breaks the use of capital letters, specifically in MACHINE names.
I use this a lot, along with COMPATIBLE_MACHINE, to share recipes
amongst similar machines.
The commit says it could be conditional. How hard (and how)
would it be to do that?

Fair enough + I missed the RFC for the patch that eventually went in.
That said, maybe a warning could be issued if overrides (at least MACHINEOVERRIDES)
are being defined with any upper-case letters rather than the [very silent
and hard to find] new behaviour causing issues?
I'll set off to rework all of my recipes that use upper case
letters in any way - a lot of work I'm sad to say...
