Because one of it's purposes is to answer frequently asked questions?

I don't see how it's confusing. The group is for announcements and 
information about things people frequently ask about.

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...
