Size Changes Effective Size Changes and the Progression of Damage Dice: how to increase or decrease the number of manufactured and natural damage dice for weapons when the weapon’s size or effective size changes. There are a variety of charts, and I’m not sure which one to choose.
What exactly does this chart replace? What exactly does it not replace?
This chart replaces the general size progression charts in the PRD used to determine sizes that increase or decrease. If a particular number was announced (for instance, the shillelagh), the chart doesn’t alter that number. It also does not affect the base monk because the monk’s flurry die does not result from the size of his increase.

Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
Because they arise from questions that the players ask.
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
So there is no reason they had to use FAQ (even if they want to keep it separate from errata they could still call it "clarification" or something), and when you say "the base needs to get over that lingering "FAQ is not RAW" hangup from 3.5" you could also say "people need to get over the admittingly confusing phrase Paizo chose to use because reasons"..
