Given that it really isn't being maintained, and that it actually takes a
decent amount of time for somebody to maintain it in a way to make it
actually *valuable* to visitors, I'll give a strong +1 for removing it.
If we want just a list of users, we could do that and make it self-service
(meaning you just sign up and fill in your details - like we have for
professional services). But that's something very different from being a
featured user.
