Before you discount the value of a FAQ for a newsgroup too quickly, please 
consider that various efforts, some by regular contributors, are currently 
underway to fork, improve and even rewrite the FAQ for this newsgroup.

The FAQ postings, on the other hand, are so far from a two years outdated, 
unmaintained FAQ instead.  The person responsible for posting them either is 
not informed about that or does not care.

And JFTR, Jukka K. Korpela is neither a (long-time) regular nor (IMHO) a 
contributor at all here.  And if I am not very much mistaken, neither are 
you.  A newfound interest in this newsgroup leading to future valuable 
contributions to this newsgroup is always welcome.  But it should not be up 
to people like you to decide or advise what should or should not be done 
with regard to the FAQ of a newsgroup you have not actually been using or 
making a valuable contribution to.
