Question C172 : "Avoid slips with flaps extended". Why?

C172P Flight Operation Manual briefly mentions :

"Avoid slips with flaps extended"

No explanation is given about why is this not or might not be recommended? Can please somebody clarify the reason behind?

E.g. what might happen in case flaps are 10 (20) and sideslip maneuver is executed?

Under term "sideslip" I understand a maneuver, where ailerons and rudder are deflected to practically full angle in order to descent rapidly due to increased drag.

Thanks,
Alex
