The docstring of defadvice says
See Info node `(elisp)Advising Functions' for comprehensive documentation.
This is no longer true. Also, while the old advice mechanism seems to
have been be obsoleted, the help doesn't say so.
BTW, the nadvice info could use some more examples and a note on how to
transition from defadvice. Kind of obvious, I know, but only in hindsight.

Indeed, it's technically obsolete, but it's not declared officially
obsolete yet. It will come, tho. But it'll be with us for many years
to come. OTOH its support is limited to keeping things working.

I've installed some changes to try and address them.
