Well, one possible answer is to avoid the chicken-and-egg problem
of getting all the files ready for a release. We don't want to package
a release until the files are in a final version, but the FAQ cannot
reach its final state until the release is prepared.  At least, not if
it is to contain information about the actual release.

Sure.

What's left to do before packaging up 4.2?
Nothing.

Let's go for it.

The FAQ can be updated in parallel, and finalized right after the
release is err.. released.
