Barbara Beeton wrote me about that:

    this is covered in the file 00readme.txt:

        ---amsclass.faq - 2004/08/06
        Removed from distribution; replaced by on-line FAQ at
        http://www.ams.org/tex/amsclass-faq.html

    the rationale was that an on-line faq can be kept current more
    easily than a text version included in a package that isn't updated
    particularly frequently.  amsmath.faq has also been transformed into
    an on-line version and removed from the ams distribution, although
    i still find a file by that name on ctan at
