Note that FA numbers on en:wp don't indicate a given quailty level -
but a rising quality level. That is, the quality standards at
:en:WP:FAC are consciously being continually raised by the regulars,
so that it indicates "the best of the best" rather than measuring
generally the quality increase of en:wp.

Looking at article classes (A-class, B-class, C-class, stub-class) for
en:wp may be a better measure - these tend to be assigned inside the
specialist wikiprojects on a topic.
