I think, although others might disagree, that the FAQ is by its nature
more of a web resource than a software documentation resource.  So it
ought to be managed by the standards of the web site, e.g., rapid
releases, version independent, whatever translation system the web site
uses.  (I consider the wiki to be an extension of the web site, for this
argument.)
