I just haven't had time to merge those all usefully into the main
FAQ.   

 
Well, unless you object to the way I did it, there's one down. 
Should I remove it from the list of "Other FAQs" on the page you
cite?

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.
