I think that DPDK.org should be as neutral in all public communications.

This bothers me:
"If you need some specific drivers or networking stacks, you should contact a company that provides such extensions."

This tag line is a link to page describing 6wind and other vendors leaves a biased taint
on the initial impression. It would be best to only put in historical data
about the contributing companies and a vague reference to commercial support being
available.

It is not like kernel.org has links to SUSE and RHEL. We need to make DPDK.org
independent.
