I don't think it is a FAQ. It doesn't seem to be frequent, or am I missing
some mails?

If it's a FAQ, then it really belongs to a general PKI FAQ, if such a
beast exists. But since people ask here for mod_ssl questions, I don't
think they'll search for a general PKI FAQ to get an answer to what they
consider to be an OpenSSL bug. So my opinion would be to put this into the
OpenSSL FAQ.
