fwiw, i agree with Damien that the existing text in the FAQ about generating a revocation certificate should be removed.
I think that there should be some text like "where can i find my key's revocation certificate?" which could be added to the FAQ. However, situations like these: On Sat 2018-11-10 15:20:41 +0000, MFPA wrote: > Not immediately after generating a new GnuPG certificate.

The FAQ is not designed to answer all possible situations (and certainly not general file system management questions, etc). It will be better (clearer, simpler) if it is targeted on the truly frequently-asked questions. For the corner cases, there is the man page, and there is DETAILS.gz, and there is the mailing list, and there is the source. I salute Damien's effort to get the FAQ into a more maintainable and accessible state. --dkg
