    Ah, Locust, truly you bring wisdom.

    {Sigh}  Well, if that's the explanation, it looks like the solutions
    are:

     1) Zap the symlink and let the 404 ErrorDocument aid the seeker.
     2) Zap the symlink and have Brian set up an alias to redirect to
        the new FAQ location.
     3) Leave the symlink and let the internal links be broken.
     4) Zap the symlink and replace it with a suitably-patched copy of
        the real FAQ.html, to be separately [un]maintained unto
    	perpetuity by whomever's commited the latest goof.  (Until the
    	next goof, when the torch passes.)
     5) Zap the symlink and replace it with an actual copy of the Tao of
        Programing.

    I prefer [1], personally, although [5] has a certain appeal.
