I think the "(including some C17)" bit would not make much sense anymore. There were no major changes in C17 and GCC implements `-std=c11` and `-std=c17` as basically the same thing according to the docs (and GNU extensions apply equally to both, I would assume).
Ok, changed now.
When I wrote the "(including some C99 features)" I meant that GCC implemented some C99 features as extensions in C90 mode, and the kernel used some of those (e.g. the now gone VLAs).
I suppose it's still true for some c2x features (static_assert, fallthrough, binary literals, ...), but it seems easier to just leave it out.
With that changed, for `programming-language.rst`:
