I'm in two minds about this -- I can see your point, that the sort of
people it's aimed at probably won't read it anyway, but. . . it might
make a difference. Given that we don't know whether it will or not,
and since the submission would drop straight in to the FAQ with no
changes required, isn't it a better idea just to put it in anyway?
I mean, what do we lose by doing so?
