Yes, please! A seperate section with a more appropriate heading than "FAQ" 
is welcome in most cases, FAQ will become a "wastedump" over time (again) 
anyways (generally speaking ;-).

No, really? ;-) ;-) ;-)
(All of our documentation is a can of worms! :/)

Hm... if you think the new (incomplete) version's better than what we have 
now, commit it, and update the PDF/HTML/etc. files. I guess you can always 
commit the XML files, I'm not doing any work on the pkgsrc guide, and I 
don't know if someone else does. (If someone asks me I'll try to remember 
you're working on it ;)
