The question is whether we consider the FAQ to be a document tied to a 
PostgreSQL release (e.g., there is a separate FAQ applying to each release) 
or whether it is a "global" document.  In the former case, it should be in 
CVS, in the latter it should be somewhere else.  In my mind, it is quite 
clear that it is the latter.

But while I am in favor of moving as much as possible of the developer 
documentation to the wiki, I am not sure such a primary, user-facing document 
should be in a wiki.  Not because I am afraid of anyone being able to edit 
it, but I am concerned about the impression this creates with (new) users.  
Could we mirror it from the wiki to the "real" web site?
