Well, the name implies that it is for announcing (answers to?) 
frequently asked questions. That is very confusing. In practice it seems 
to be for announcing news. FAQ is a _very_ misleading term here. Simply 
p.a would be a lot more intuitive, or p.a.news.

IMHO there should be no need for a specific FAQ group and if any group 
deserves FAQ in its name, it should be p.g, of course. Or maybe I just 
don't get it ;) ...very likely, though...
