I'm opposed to the idea of removing information from the FAQ when it's still accurate. I know of sites that are still running 2.x systems (when it works, why upgrade?). I can appreciate that people don't want to have to read through stuff that's not directly appropriate to them. There are proposals on the table to work through this in a more SGMLish way. Take a look through the doc mailing list archives for threads started by me that have the string "osversionmin" in them, to see one proposal on how to handle things, and prototype tools on how to implement it.
