I don't know if there's a "common questions" link anywhere. I could write
it. I guess I just did.

I honestly don't think that page is very useful, it gets a lot of noise and
not much signal, which is why I don't usually look at it. We could change
the config to point at Phabricator, maybe?

It usually does, if only to get meaningful error messages and line numbers
for a bug report.
