IIRC, I did not -- I least I did not meant to.  You may be referring to
<lsto7t$dkb$1@solani.org>, but there I meant to refer to changes that
did already happen, and to minor changes that may happen in the future.

No offense taken. :)

However, there were *only three* people involved in the latest
discussion regarding the FAQ.

Perhaps I have misinterpreted the term "regular".  At least until now I
would have defined it simply as "someone who posts regularly"
(potentially including even trolls).

ACK.  However, who's to judge?

I find it rather natural to be cynical when it comes to these
discussions regarding the FAQ *again*.  They come up from time to time
since years without any consensus -- and lately without even broad
participation. :(
