I didn't read the whole thread, but I don't have an issue with Larian editing their FAQ - I see "Frequently Asked Questions" as place where people can go to search for answers for frequently asked questions - as such they should contain the most up to date information, not what was true or thought to be true at some point of another. Since it released FAQ have been updated multiple times - as it should be. I don't think it would be beneficial for the purpose of a FAQ to keep a record of all changes to it.
I also don't think the change is substantial enough to warrant a clarification, or even I would be weary of assuming that removal of the information means that they change the direction.
Reading through FAQ it seems far more official than it used to be. The old one seemed to be mostly a compilation to some of the questions that people asked during early AMA. This one looks very.... techincal - important questions about the game as a product, but not much specifics about the game itself.
