See: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2015-October/697818.html

Saying "In Python 2.2" is not helpful in the 3.x docs. Even in the 2.x docs, it's pretty safe to assume by now that everyone's on 2.2+. (At very least, "Since" would be better than "If".) Patch attached.

I suspect that a lot of that FAQ is outdated now, though.
