reST is a reasonable tool for building small documents, I don't use it
because it really doesn't scale well to handle larger ones. Given that
the rest of the project is already committed to using Docbook for those
larger documents, I think it's hard to justify the additional toolchain
needed for reST processing just to make the FAQ a little easier to edit.
