# While checking the format of Yves' FAQs, I noticed another
# relevant point. The archive has the following files:
#
# esperanto-faq
# esperanto/faq/part1
# esperanto/faq/part2
#
# Presumably the first is an earlier version, replaced by the
# latter two. Yet it probably shows up in Kent's figures as
# "abandoned since 1995". I would guess that there are quite
# a few such cases -- though not enough to change the outline
# of Kent's figures. When a maintainer changes the archive
# name, deleting the old one requires additional action; it
# is not automatic.

Yes, it would have appeared in my stats. This is part of the
unneeded manual actions I eluded to that the moderators of
*.answers must take precious time to do.

# On the flip side, the misc.health.diabetes FAQ is on
# autopilot, being posted every two weeks. I assume this
# counts as "updated" in Kent's figures. Even if it doesn't,
# I've made minor changes in the past six months -- but only
# minor ones compared with what I'd like to do (so why am I
# writing here ...). How many FAQs are maintained, but
# minimally?

Good point. I was looking only at what had not been posted.
