[~KurtG], i added some feedback comments to your commit 
[here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/f30a7dab7f2871fd4b88352f4b17129c02425484].

Can we please just remove the third-party-support page. A google search or just 
asking the users ML is a fairer way to solve this issue.

I would also scrap the list of companies under the 'Proven' section. That list 
is so old. Even back in 2016 it looked like 
[this|https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CrxUyKSVMAAtax0.jpg:large].
Rewriting it could be done using the info at 
https://db-engines.com/en/system/Cassandra (without any hyperlinks):
 - Key customers: Apple, Netflix,  Uber, ING, Cern, Intuit, Fidelity, NY Times, 
Outbrain, BazaarVoice, Best Buy, Comcast, eBay, Hulu, Sky, Pearson Education, 
Walmart, Microsoft, Macy's™, McDonalds,  Macquarie Bank, GitHub, Spotify, 
Instagram. 
 - Market metrics: Cassandra is used by 40% of the Fortune 100.

Otherwise the 'Proven' section is not needed IMHO. The technology is in a very 
different adoption phase today.

I don't feel fully comfortable to promote companies the way it is proposed 
here, just a single click from the homepage. We already throw around names of 
lot's of companies on the homepage directly and we (the Apache org) need to 
make sure to not present us as a collaboration between those, but as a 
commercially independent organization. 

My suggestion for a compromise would be to add a "Third Party Support" section 
at the bottom of the "Community" page and list companies in order of number of 
contributions (patches). We can phrase it like e.g. "the following companies 
are actively contributing to Apache Cassandra as part of the community and may 
also be able to offer professional support", or something like that. But just 
list and link them, without logos. Short line of text might be acceptable. But 
we should present them as part of the community, that's my main point here, 
whether on the community page or not.

I thought that made sense too.  Remove the link, keep the text.
