translatewiki FAQ about localisationupdate on Wikimedia wikis is incorrect

Description

I completed a number of updated translations for ang (Old English) localization of frequently used Wikimedia messages, and several days later, they have not been implement. I read on https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ#LocalisationUpdate that they should be implemented within 24 hours.

If that could be fixed, that would be wonderful.

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ#LocalisationUpdate needs updating to reflect the fact l10nupdate has been disabled for at least two years, and is going to be staying that way for the forseeable future pending resolution on T206694: Determine desired architecture to update localization strings for Wikimedia, T158360: RFC: Reevaluate LocalisationUpdate extension for WMF, T220481: Reenable l10update in production

See T206694: Determine desired architecture to update localization strings for Wikimedia, T158360: RFC: Reevaluate LocalisationUpdate extension for WMF, T220481: Reenable l10update in production

On Wikimedia wikis, new translations typically reach the wikis within 24 hours from the commit (from a few hours to a couple days since the message was translated here).

This hasn't actually been the case for at least a couple of years now. rOPUP9482dfc3f5d4: l10nupdate: disable temporarily

In most cases, the updated message strings will be rolled out to Wikimedia wikis starting on the monday after export

The documentation on that page needs updating to match reality

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/FAQ#Update_of_%22stable_version%22_localisations is out of date too...

I don't think we've done an i18n backport to supported release branches in aaaages :(

I think https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=FAQ&type=revision&diff=9605128&oldid=9435054 covers both...
