The recent deprecation warning message of `egrep` is a prime example that bash scripts can break (depending on stderr processing). They will definitely break once the alias is removed.
egrep has been on a deprecation path for 15 years, and the replacement is incredibly straightforward. Also, I think egrep will generally just continue to work.
I'm not sure what you mean by "recent", but this is more longevity than we get in the node/JS world.
I'm primarily a JS (now TS) dev, who also throws bash at things when it makes more sense, but let's not kid ourselves that it's the same.
