My .02: Even if it *were* deprecated for *current* shells of the Bourne 
family, when I ask for a .../bin/sh, I expect it to behave like ye olde 
original Bourne shell, including backticks.

If I want/need to use neologisms like $(...) or (actual example) 
associative arrays, it's my duty to give an appropriate hashbang to 
ensure I *will* have them available. (Or make sure that the script 
properly errors out when the feature is nonetheless absent.)

Kind regards,
