The intended audience of the FAQ is end-users, not core developers
going spelunking.  It is not useful information for that audience.

Nothing is lost, you can just look at an old version of the FAQ.  But
if you really need to look at these summaries often, we could perhaps
move them to a separate file in admin/notes or something.  Are they
really that important?
