This PR adds two questions to the FAQ, about when not to use SSS.
I did not have this exact question from anybody, but there seem to exist a lot of folks (mostly blockchainers) that think Shamir secret sharing is the silver bullet of secret sharing schemes. While it is very easy and produces small shares (and fast because we do not need group arithmetic), some cases really need a verifiable secret sharing scheme. These questions try to give some insight into when a VSS scheme would probably be better.
