doc: remove assertions about assert

Trott · Italo A. Casas · commit 5d58756b4192 · 2017-02-14T11:52:04.000-05:00
The assert docs have some language that suggests that we don't want bug fixes. We do. Send in bug fixes, please. (Just no new API features.) We'd love to not have assert in core at all, but that ship has sailed. It's here to stay. Let's at least make it not have surprising behaviors. Because we want good things for our users.
