Just so there's no confusion, this FAQ change was accomplished
based on an e-mail request from me ... using DavidT's analysis
for justification.  That the discussion took place in the Forum was
just the decision of the poster .... Most of the Deputies admit that
the Forum is "if they have the time" thing (being inundated with
e-mail, then the newsgroups if time allows) ... In general, I only
'see' them there in response to an e-mail that I kick up on an
issue.

R.W. has stated that changes to that FAQ now need to be staffed,
to include IronPort's legal ... so, no, making massive changes
these days are not easy.  On the other hand, all but one of my
last dozen or so "change requests" have been done.  (and on
yet another hand, keeping up with some of those pages /
entries is a manual thing .. as in your example, I have no idea
when this SpamKiller app was added to that entry.)
