Actually, I think "tension" is the wrong word. The core just want to
send a message, nothing more. The main message is "eval-after-load and
advice should ideally not be necessary: we happily support them and
won't be offended at all if you use them, but if you do need them,
please understand that it is evidence of a shortcoming in some package
that should be reported so we can fix it".

And that's why we want this message in the manual.
