When you say "this text", are you referring to the new text I just added on the 
emacs-26 branch in commit 9a53b6d426 (quoted above), or to Stefan's proposed 
new text (not yet written) about recommending `advice-add' instead?

I'm pretty sure you meant the latter, but I wanted to make sure of that before 
commenting further.
