Where it was, or not there at all yielded the same net result. There's
nothing to understand about the links, it's clear what their purpose
is which is to promote the ASF. I have no problem with that. I started
reclaiming real estate on the site that was yielding no results. I
wasn't arguing about putting it back, just somewhere it wasn't a
complete waste of space.
Doing anything without questioning or understanding is unequivocally
the worst course of action one can take. The net result here is that
someone might actually go to the ASF pages now.

Look at the analytics, zero traffic.
I didn't expect them to be high on traffic, but you should put
them somewhere else before dumping them outright.
They are not low, they are zero.
Traffic is not the only or most important thing about links.
You probably know links are one of the most important variables in
search engine rankings.
The PRC asked all PMC to add such links to their project pages, so
we do this, it's not our duty to understand why, IMHO.
Put it somewhere better if you want it to be useful. It's just
taking up space otherwise.
How about adding this to the bottom of the front page:
If you want to put it higher that's fine. No one will see it down
there. I'm all for giving the ASF space and credit. Just make it be
seen.
Ok, but down was better than removed ;-)
