Here are my thoughts: If you use branch counting instead of SingleBranchMode,
then it limits the ability to use this. If a group if libraries use
SingleBranchMode, why should they not be able to see the shelving facet? 

I understand the reasoning behind only using it for single libraries ( e.g. We
don't want to show locations that don't exist in this library ). So, if
SingleBranchMode is indeed to be deprecated, then you are right, and this
should go back to branch counting.

As far as I can tell, SingleBranchMode is only used in two places, once in
Search.pm and twice in Koha.pm, all instances involve facets.
