It'd be easier to document nadvice if there were a clear reason for it
to exist. Regular advice works fine and has for a long time. It's very
well documented has many useful features. It integrates with help. It
supports various interactive commands. I have no plans to use nadvice
myself any time soon and oppose deprecating regular advice.
