Comment (by Timothy Allen):

I just pulled down the latest from upstream `master` (main?), and the
changes have already been made. We just need to deploy the changes to
DjangoProject.com. Apologies for the extra ticket, I should've merged in
from upstream before opening it. I'll leave it open just in case this was
a missed deployment. Cheers.

Comment:

Indeed, this will be in the 3.2 version of the FAQ -- use the picker in
the bottom right to select version.

There were two changes in b8b129e58ccd02263fb24ffc8b5c9fa63ba10e5b and
3b94f12462d262a812930cf25efe8d8eb07c5c83 to handle this.
