I'm proof-reading a paper where I quote the above fragment and to my
surprise I noticed it's no longer present in the FAQ.

So my question are:

1. Does the change mean the change of the official policy of the
Consortium?

2. Are the archival versions of the FAQ available somewhere?

3. Are the changes to the FAQ documented somehow (a version control
system?)?

Best regards
