Nothing is a little harsh. A tombstone would be better.

For example, "We no longer list support providers, as this list was being 
used to exclude people from bidding on projects, and declaring themselves 
official or registered partners when Koha never had such a program or 
status. The list's purpose was to provide an easy list of people in various 
countries, not give any status to them or statement of quality about them.

If you wish to see who is active in the community please search:
- bugs.koha-community.org for submissions and comments by that person or 
company.
- dashboard.koha-community.org for people who demonstrate themselves active 
in the community.
- and if you are technical, feel free to look through the git log of the 
koha project cloneable from git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git

We apologize for any inconvenience, but such ongoing, gross 
misrepresentations of the list required this list to be removed."

The problem with (b) is it still provides a way for people to misrepresent. 
A variation on (a) in the only way.
