In my opinion, g_assert_not_reached() & friends are an overly ornate
reinvention of an old and perfectly adequate wheel.

A long time ago for reasons since forgotten, the maintainers in charge
back then demanded abort() instead of assert(0).  Either is fine with
me.

I tolerate g_assert_not_reached() in files that already use g_assert().
This one doesn't.

In any case, I'd drop the comment.

Note that I'm not this file's maintainer.
