Howdy folks,

I was wondering if we ought to remove the employer information from
the "Past Major Contributors" section. Putting aside the issues of if
the field is meant to represent a current employer or employer of last
record or the employer who most supported thier work or whatever, I
would just note that at the moment the information seems wrong: Meskes
no longer works for Credativ, Frost no longer works for Crunchy, and I
believe Tom Lockhart has retired from the JPL. While we might argue
that they are free to update their profile if they wish, as past
contributors, I see no reason why we would expect them to keep these
profiles updated. Thoughts?
