I do think the FAQ could benefit from an update. However, I do not claim
to know which would the right words to put there.
There are some ideas on my previous mails. I hoped that could spark some 
discussion, but they are not near a proposal. That's a tougher task :)

Maybe by giving it enough time I might come up with something to work
with, far from perfect, but some draft to built upon.
