I don't think that an informal page like the one I linked needs to be
in the official documentation, and it is not affected by changes in
LilyPond.

Granted, there *is* an official FAQ page, but it is not evolving, it
is outdated (e.g. speaks about sponsoring). We should remember it
exists and maintain it, link more frequently to it... or use a wiki.
