I'm quite supportive of the idea to remove 6.X bits from the FAQ,
especially if we plan ahead a bit and do it in stages before the next
stable release.  I'd be interested to see, for example, something like:

  January 25                    - remove 6.X references from FAQ front page
  January 25 - February 15      - remove bits about 6.X specific code,
                                  file formats, binaries, etc.
  February 16 - March 1         - verify we didn't remove useful bits

The dates are entirely guesswork at this point, and they shouldn't be
considered even remotely close to a 'schedule', but we can aim for
something like this set of dates IMO.
