Hey you guys just improved our FAQ!

Heh, team effort too, Simon, Ben [1] and Ashley [2] asked about
rollback; Petr noticed that this comes up a lot, Ganesh supplied some of
the words for the answer (which I stole) and I played
Eric-the-Search-Engine.

I'm pleased that this really is an FA-Q and not just a Q we imagine one
might A (that said, the fact that there even is a Q in the first place
means we've gotten something wrong in the UI).

Cheers,
