I first did, then decided against it for the following reason: there is
one message for experimental packages (appears twice) and one message for
archived packages (appears once). As for old-style packages the two
messages follow each other, it seemed weird to have one called from a
function and another one given explicitly. Plus It would have meant that
the new functions would have to be defined in the middle of unrelated
code, somewhere else.
So well, I found it cleaner this way.
