BBVERSIONS support was dropped in November 2016 in commit
0bb188f01e39 "ast: remove BBVERSIONS support".
Let's update the documentation to reflect this.
This was found by running:
git grep -hoP '^ :term:`\K\w+(?=`)' doc/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-ref-variables.rst | \
xargs -I{} sh -c \
"grep -Rq --include='*.py' --include='*.conf' --include='*.bbclass' --include='*.bb' --include='*.bbappend' --include='*.inc' \
-w -E {}'_*(_[a-z]+[0-9a-z]*[a-z]+)*' || \
echo {}"

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: https://docs.yoctoproject.org
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
