Yes, it does. Ideally, FAQs that haven't been posted in more than
<insert long time here> will be cleared out of the archive, and new
postings with the same Archive-name and no copyright problems can
replace them. Here "long time" is not very firmly established, but
I've used a year or 18 months in the past.
The problem is simply time. Despite our best efforts to get a few
more volunteers, we've had only one truly active moderator for a
couple of *years* now -- until a few months ago it was me, and now
it's David Alex Lamb. That isn't nearly enough to keep up with both
the queue and the archive maintenance. The former gets priority, and
old FAQs sit around in the archive gathering bit errors.
