Sounds sensible. (I removed it while going through checking for broken links
etc., and the section numbering didn't match the contents; checking against
CVS it appeared the intention of Revision 1.393 was to remove this item, cf.
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/src/FAQ/FAQ.html#rev1.393
).

Attached is an updated FAQ patch which re-includes this item and a note that
it's been resolved in 8.3.
