Reasoning
The FAQ content is accurate and well-structured, so minimal changes are needed.

This makes the response more concise while maintaining all the essential information.
Regarding security rules selection:
- AvoidJavaScriptCustomObject: Directly relates to JavaScript code in packages that the FAQ discusses removing
- AvoidJavaScriptHomePageComponent: Applies to JavaScript components that may be part of the deprecated code being removed
- AvoidJavaScriptWebLink: Covers JavaScript in web links that could be among the deprecated code
- AvoidSControls: Relates to legacy JavaScript implementations (S-Controls) that are commonly deprecated
- LibraryWithKnown*SeverityVulnerability rules: All four vulnerability detection rules apply because deprecated JavaScript code often contains known security vulnerabilities, which is a primary reason for removal in managed packages
