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.
