Allow me an analogy. It's not the fault of a rope if you use it to cross between two skyscrapers and slip and fall to the ground. But if if you mind your life you use at least a safety cable to tie you to the rope, or use the lifts and cross at road level. There are still cars to watch for, but...

C is simply too dangerous, even the best developer can slip without noticing. There are safer alternatives now, we should start using them at least for new projects.
