You have to use your own judgement when it comes to this.

If you see a "frequently asked question" while reading the mailing lists
then it should probably go into the FAQ. :)

FAQ comments are really intended for additional discussion of a FAQ
answer or adding something useful to a question/answer. When posting a
comment it says in bold letters that you should send problem reports and
questions directly to the mailing lists - and *not* post them as FAQ
comments.

Therefore, I usually delete comments that fit any of the rules below:


1. Old, out of date or offtopic comments.

2. Comments that are a problem report or plea for help.

3. Questions as to when drivers will be released (see FAQ question #1,
they usually get posted right there, although the FAQ answer says we
don't announce release dates).

4. Generally rude or offensive comments (not very many of these
luckily).

5. Comments complaining that we haven't released a specific driver. I
don't appreciate it when people complain like that, if you don't like it
then either help out or use Windows.
However, I think it's OK to ask for a driver to be released or saying
that you would really appreciate for a driver to be released. Use your
own judgement when deciding if somebody is complaining or asking nicely.


Anyway, this is just what I used to do. I haven't actually looked at the
comments in a long time. Anybody interested in cleaning up, let me know.
