Bah. I thought everyone could add things to the FAQ with the FAQ Wizard, but
it's only for PSA members. I thought the PSA was defunct, but then then
things has changed so fast in the last half year... www.python.org is hosted
by CNRI, has BeOpen logos here and there, and has things run by the PSA on
it... But I digress.

So I'm not adding to the FAQ after all. I could mail someone but I'm lazy at
the moment.
