 `proc-macro2` supports exporting some methods from `proc_macro` which are
 currently highly unstable, and may not be stabilized in the first pass of
-`proc_macro` stabilizations. These features are not exported by default.
+`proc_macro` stabilizations. These features are not exported by default. Minor
+versions of `proc-macro2` may make breaking changes to them at any time.
 
-To export these features, the `procmacro2_unstable` config flag must be passed
-to rustc. To pass this flag, run `cargo` with 
-`RUSTFLAGS='--cfg procmacro2_unstable' cargo build`.
+To enable these features, the `procmacro2_semver_exempt` config flag must be
