No, it says the --gecos *option* will be removed after bookworm,
replaced by --comment, which seems to be another name for the same thing:
passwd(5) "user name or comment field" = struct passwd's pw_gecos,
as can be edited by chfn(1).
The field containing the user's full name, and a way to edit it, are
definitely something that should stay.
