consultants and poweredby removal

We no longer actively maintain the consultants and poweredby pages.  What 
does everyone think about removing them?  We still get requests to be added 
to those pages so I think it would be good to get rid of them.

Now that we have an official Jakarta wiki:

	http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?HomePage

Why not just point there and let everyone self-maintain consultant and 
powered-by lists?

+1, but we should leave a note behind saying what happened.  It also
wouldn't bother me at all if someone else wanted to maintain such pages
(and we could point there from the resources pages).

Problem is that some people are referencing the 1.0.2 docs instructions,
so even if we do they will probably still send in requests.

On a recent request, I went to their site, there was no mention of
Struts or Jakarta or Apache or even Java!!!

I'm +1 for removing it.  

I'm also +1 for dumping all 'powered by' references that are invalid.  I
mean, its one thing to add links to sites that aren't allowed to put our
logo there, but its another to get 404 or connection refused.  We've had
several more mentioned lately so it might be a good idea to scrub that
list again and put up some more valid links and remove the bad ones.

If we think this is becoming a maintenance problem, I'll volunteer to
add a task to the build that let's us validate the references by
creating a resources-violators.html report when finished.  I was
thinking about something with a declarative search criteria or pattern.
