Though I am sympathetic to the pro-deprecation arguments and recognize they will win, I vote do not deprecate, as mission includes Matlab, and for backwards compatibility. As an example, the first edition of the AMS-published "Sage for Undergraduates" used the backslash operator in a number of examples (comparing it explicitly with other solving methods for linear systems), so I presume the second edition has maintained that (though I don't personally own it and can't verify immediately; a related website does not seem to have all code examples).
