New issue 683 by pekka.klarck: Remove deprecation warning when using scalar
and list variables with same base name (e.g. `${FOO}` and `...@{foo}`)
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=683
We added this deprecation warning in RF 2.5 (issue 484) to make it possible
to combine these variable types in RF 2.6. Unfortunately this warning is
shown also in cases where it should not (issue 579) because variables leak
to lower level scopes (issue 532). There can be so many warnings that in
practice going through them all may not be possible. This also means we
cannot really combine variables in RF 2.6.
I think it's best to remove the deprecation warning now. We can add the
warning back when we've fixed variable scopes (issue 532) and there aren'y
unnecessary warnings.
Part of implementing this issue is updating User Guide (see issue 484 for
information what was changed when the warning was added) and submitting a
new issue about adding the warning back.
