I love them!

I think the right way to handle those changes in what Tails does in the
FAQ is to explicitly state which version does what. Then a few months
later we can drop that info.

Regarding the Git workflow, topic branches should fix the FAQ according
to whatever change they bring. I'm not saying they should fill up the
FAQ in advance but they should make sure that the FAQ is still correct
after the branch is released.

Regarding the 64-bit version, can you review commit 9e26e56 in devel?

Done in commit 493f10d, merged into devel.

Done in commit a2a417d straight into devel.

Ok, what about commit 7dc5d83 then?
