Yep.

The last time I suggested revisions to that text there was no community 
consensus on what should replace it.  Each proposed replacement met 
significant criticism.

My current plan is to wait until GnuPG 2.3 is released and then update 
the FAQ to reflect those changes, and hope that by that time there's 
community consensus to support the changes.

The FAQ isn't being ignored.  I'd like to do a total overhaul of it. 
However, the FAQ isn't meant to be my opinions and rants: it's meant to 
be *the community's* voice.  So I'm kind of dependent on the mailing 
list for support.
