--- Comment #1 from Vladlen Popolitov <vladlen@FreeBSD.org> ---
The releng team has considered this issue earlier and decided to keep the
$(...) syntax in the release documentation.

Explanation:

While we acknowledge that $(uname -p) does not work in csh/tcsh, the release
notes and upgrading guides are frequently copied and pasted into various
third-party platforms (forums, mailing lists, blogs, etc.). In many such
environments, the backtick character ` is interpreted as a formatting marker
(e.g., inline code or quotes) and gets mangled or rendered incorrectly, which
breaks the command for users.

We recommend that csh and other shell users adapt the command manually as
needed.
