I don't see how that would be better. Why this artificiality?
Installation instructions belong into INSTALL files. FAQs are questions
asked by people because the documentation is incomplete or the software is
badly designed. I mean, you could make everything a FAQ, but FAQs should
be a backup thing, not a first order documentation resource.
