I was thinking that the Thayer's module removal (and the BDB I think it

spammers, etc)?
We have a page for module requests. Maybe such a page is more
appropriate? We want to keep the main FAQ short. We do have an entry for
Portuguese module there because we field several questions a month.
Thayers is more like once a year.

We've had the Thayer's question a couple times this month, though
admittedly it's been a long time since the previous query. I don't know
whether we ought to take this as a hint that the question will come
increasingly often or not.
The reason I would say that Thayer's & BDB don't belong on the module
requests page or at least have as much right on a FAQ, is because it's
not merely an issue of folks wanting these two lexicons. There's also
the issue of their seeing these two lexicons made available elsewhere,
when in fact everyone else who has made Thayer's & BDB available is
actually distributing the OLBGRK & OLBHEB lexicons. (I exclude
BibleWorks & Logos here, since they obviously did their homework and
make Thayer's, BDBG, and in one case even the OLB lexicons available
under the correct names/licenses.)
I would presume that no one actually checks the FAQ or module requests,
though, so I suspect we will see no curtailing of the support questions
in either case. (But it does make support simpler, since we can just
reply with a link.)
