yes, I think that the recurring debate demands that the arguments
are made visible so they can be tested by readers.
You can see in the referred Debian issue tracker, that Werner has to repeat 
his arguments over and over again, there is not good place to refer to the 
chain of arguments.

From my point of view the wiki enables us to catch the debate and more in 
depth. And arguments with its sources. Also it can show the discussion of  
discenting views point. For example the FAQ does not cover the details of the 
support for larger keys like 8 KiB or 16 KiB.

In my view this would be too much for an FAQ, which should be brief and more 
official and thus more stable.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
