Hello, I recommend Valve to use the server cvar sv_contact and send an email to every administrator that have configured that cvar. All the information about last update I've got from a friend that got servers already removed from master serverlist (but he was selling the skins for RL Money which I don't do). Also there is now very unfair fight between servers that removed those plugins and servers that still keep them.
Also I would like to tell my opinion about that thing. CS was always based on community portals, a lot of people prefer playing on servers where they can meet new people from same nationality and have some fun with them. Also a lot of game portals become huge and they start to organize events like tournaments or lanparties. I think that those steps have a huge impact on community based portals. Valve should think twice before doing steps to destroy the community.
