As the one who most recently touched the FAQ "near" there, I would
have to state with great conviction that ... the FAQ smells bad and
its mother dresses it funny.

I think Giorgios, I, and others, have plans to take chainsaws to the
thing post-release.  It's going to have to be done in parts, though;
otherwise the enormity of the mess just makes you want to go lie down.
