Too large to be a FAQ, and too many obscure questions[1].
>What am I missing here?
The size, for one. A FAQ is is small document, limited to frequent
questions. It is not a compilation of every question ever asked,
including those that are relevant[1] only for a short window.
[1] Questions that are only relevant for a brief window or that are
obscure may be extremely important at the time they are posted,
but they don't belong in a FAQ list.
