I think there's nothing wrong with doing it in the FAQ.  It's
consistent with what the FAQ already says, and in any case it's what
people have been doing informally for years.  As I've suggested
before (and as others have), I think doing it in formal documentation
and such like without a longer-term plan for communications is a bad
idea.  But I will cheerfully shut up about it no matter what is
decided, especially since I'm not doing any of the work.
