After having slept on it, this doesn't seem like a good fit for the advice subsystem. The advice subsystem provides hints about suggested actions for new users to understand what to do about a condition. In this example, the message is not suggesting a particular user action --- instead, it's describing state, which would seem to be a better fit for tracing, as in the patch 3/3 I sent. Am I understanding correclty? Can you give an example of when a user would *want* to see this message and what they would do in response? Thanks, Jonathan
