I personally think that is a very good idea -- provided it is made
clear what each deals with, and which are compulsory downloads (if not
all three). Otherwise you run the risk of having people ask questions
here that are answered in the FAQs simply because they read the wrong
FAQ, or didn't have the right one downloaded.
