Docstring of mpl.cm.get_cmap

Problem

There is a note that says:

Notes
-----
Currently, this returns the global colormap object, which is deprecated.
In Matplotlib 3.5, you will no longer be able to modify the global
colormaps in-place.

This is not clear about what is deprecated or how users should update. Will it start returning a copy? Will it start returning an immutable object? Should users be using a different function?

Suggested improvement
