  *     memory overhead if this API is not being used for other purposes
  *  - `RtlGenRandom` is thus called directly instead. A detailed explanation
  *     can be found here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/michael_howard/2005/01/14/cryptographically-secure-random-number-on-windows-without-using-cryptoapi/
+ *
+ * In spite of the disclaimer on the `RtlGenRandom` documentation page that was
+ * written back in the Windows XP days, this function is here to stay. The CRT
+ * function `rand_s()` directly depends on it, so touching it would break many
+ * applications released since Windows XP.
+ *
+ * Also note that Rust and BoringSSL (thus, Google Chrome and everything based
+ * on Chromium) also depend on it, and that libsodium allows the RNG to be
+ * replaced without patching nor recompiling the library.
