It might make sense to reduce this list just to "Projects" since those
are actually more tangible and verifiable.  Or scrap it altogether.

Sorry, I disagree with this. I think it's helpful for people to see
some important corporations that are using it, since many people
coming to the page are doing research to figure out if they want to
switch to it in their companies. It also demonstrates that these large
companies are participating in the open source community and it may
help them decide to open source internal corporate projects as well,
which I think is beneficial to everyone.

Yeah I'd agree on that. I'd even go a step further and claim it would be best
to show projects and companies coming from most different branches of
business.

("Can I switch my business over to Git? Oh well only these internet hacker
companies are using it, I -as an air drier firmware writer shop-
cannot relate to,
so I keep using RCS.")

Also looking at the open source projects, most of them seem to me as
large-ish umbrella projects, so a smaller(?) project like emacs would be
huge win to show off Git can work well with all kinds of projects.
