+    The variable ``qiskit.__qiskit_version__`` is removed as it was deprecated since 
+    Qiskit 0.44 (released on July 2023).
+    Instead, you should use ``qiskit.__version__``. The other packages listed in the
+    former ``qiskit.__qiskit_version__`` have their own ``__version__`` module level dunder,
+    as standard in PEP 8.
