As far as I can tell,
$ git grep -e 'advice\.' Documentation
shows the list in config.txt and nothing else, and they do talk
about when they are issued, but the reasoning behind them may not be
described to a sufficient degree (that is, unless a reader carefully
thinks things through, s/he may not be able to figure out why). But
I think what we have there is more or less OK.
