I would be opposed to removing it. The entire sponsors page is not
there for informational purposes: it is promotional, to show people the
breadth of corporate support which the PostgreSQL project has. Listing
the primary host countries of the various companies contributes to this,
by showing that the PostgreSQL project is not a single-country project
(as some OSS projects are).
I agree that bringing back the PostgreSQL World Map would accomplish the
same purpose, and if someone wants to code that up, pgsql-www is there
on Git for you to get started. In the meantime, I don't agree that
anyone has demonstrated any problem with listing the sponsor's home
countries, and I feel they serve an advocacy purpose.
