The "support" which has been removed is limited to the build system.

If you include Script.make, the directory must contain $(PGM).py or
you get an error.

People are free to script GRASS commands in whatever language they
choose, but shell scripts don't belong in the GRASS 7 repository, so
there's no need for the build system to provide any support for them.

If something doesn't work unless you install /bin/sh and a dozen other
Unix utilities, that's a critical bug. Ditto for anything which
doesn't work if $GISBASE or GISDBASE contain spaces.
