Well, with the way it was before it was even more hidden. Now at least
it has its own question, and has working links and all.

However I wonder how much value there really is in the developer's FAQ,
considering that some answers seem rather poor. For example the
answer on ereport() was wrong, and nobody ever pointed it out. The
answer on palloc/pfree is very incomplete too.

My question is, is this resource actually useful for somebody?

Hey, now that's a clever idea!
