One advantage of sending a topic like this as two patches is that,
if the review discussion leads to a consensus that the new help
message should be given unconditionally to everybody, only [1/2] can
be queued while dropping [2/2].  But the point of advise() is to
serve as a training wheel that can be disabled by users who no
longer need it, so need for such a "flexibility" may not appear in
topics that add new advise() calls all that often, I would imagine.

I am willing to do the squashing on the receiving end.  The effect
of two patches combined together is a good improvement, and the
proposed log message for the first one covers why we want to do both
of these two.

Thanks, both, for writing and reviewing.
