Since this has been debated a lot lately again and Julian explained the
inner workings of how MS deals with this I have updated my FAQ entry. I
think it now covers how to do it manually with no risks. If there are
any errors please let me know so I can correct them.

As far as I know there's still a bug involved in expiring from MS and
the SA guys have fixed it for the next release of SA. Please correct me
on this one too if wrong.
