 /* Get a newline-terminated string from stdin, removing the newline.
-   DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION!!  There is no limit on how much it will read.
 
-   The function has been officially removed in ISO C11.  This opportunity
-   is used to also remove it from the GNU feature list.  It is now only
-   available when explicitly using an old ISO C, Unix, or POSIX standard.
-   GCC defines _GNU_SOURCE when building C++ code and the function is still
-   in C++11, so it is also available for C++.
+   This function is impossible to use safely.  It has been officially
+   removed from ISO C11 and ISO C++14, and we have also removed it
+   from the _GNU_SOURCE feature list.  It remains available when
+   explicitly using an old ISO C, Unix, or POSIX standard.
 
    This function is a possible cancellation point and therefore not
    marked with __THROW.  */
