The original entry answers the following question: How do I use TeX with Emacs? and goes on to describe the version of AUCTeX that can be used OOTB on MS-Windows. If AUCTeX no longer provides such a package, it is IMO better to simply remove this subsection, instead of pointing users to a package that is not in any ways specific for MS-Windows, and won't help them use AUCTeX more than the upstream distribution will. IOW, the w32 Emacs FAQ is supposed to provide information that makes installation and use of Emacs on Windows easier, and this new text fails short of that mark. Or what am I missing?

I admit the entry in the FAQ now is somewhat redundant since AUCTeX behaves like many other packages available from ELPA. The only reason I suggested this change is that deleting it would cause people come back and ask where it went. But please feel free to delete that subsection if there is no added value behind it.
