Now that the perl sources are in git (meaning committers can easily
have their own branches), it's kinda silly to have the perlfaq over in
a separate repo. I'm going to keep my perlfaq tools over there, but now
the canonical source for the perlfaqN.pod docs are in the regular perl
source tree. I've created a briandfoy/perlfaq branch for that and I'll
just work in there. No more cross repo syncing and all that bother.

The only question is who and when to pull the new versions into blead.

Well, it should point to whereever you synced it from. My github repo
is now behind my branch in the main repo.

It would be nice to have my latest perlfaq updates cherrypicked into
the maintenance branch though.
