I believe you're right. If we're assuming shell functions, we might
as well assume ${var:-val}.
I think Ultrix was last released in 1995 and last shipped in 2000.
If typical end-of-life procedures were followed, it was last supported
in 2005. A good heuristic for GNU code is to not support non-GNU
operating systems when the original supplier doesn't.
