Sure; everyone should feel free to assimilate into the main FAQ and wipe
out anything on that smaller list. Those are mainly topics where the
discussion of workarounds and approaches can be much longer than
standard FAQ length, so I suspect many of the answers are going to be a
very brief summary with a link to longer discussion. If you come across
a really small one, we might even wipe out the original page once it's
merged in.
