[Koha] Proposal to remove the 'Paid support' list

Sadly, if a person's name continues to appear on a list in the same place, 
those requesting quotes for proposals will not pay attention and learn what 
the list is. The learning curve forces learning. I'm sorry it is harsh, but 
people tend to take the path of least resistance which includes remaining 
ignorant of how the list works.

A list like "Name/Organization, Country, Date of Last Accepted Patch" capped 
since old stable initial release would be nice, but it opens it back up to 
this stupidity which we want to avoid, because marketing people may hype and 
lie. No list provides no opportunity for them to hype and lie.
