It is if you are standardizing documentation. I don’t expect FAQs in the main website.

Given that a lot of these questions seem relevant for people considering to try rust for the first time, including some sort of link on the main website might be helpful.
A redirect would be helpful so the old links still work.
We generally tried to have redirects, but we are humans and therefore fallible. Please file bugs!
I would, but then the linked FAQ is outdated (in fact, the 1.20 version[0] indicates it moved to the website), and I don't think having a redirect that points to the prev website would work. According to [1], the presence of an FAQ on the website is an unresolved question.

Ah, I thought you could redirect to prev. Sorry about that!
Heh. "Currently, Rust is still pre-1.0" doesn't seem to agree with the URL. ;-)
Just another demonstration of how easy it is to let this kind of thing get out of date.
