Removing list of XMLA Consumers

Here is my reply to User talk:Igorkrupitsky why XMLA Consumers section should be removed:

Few reasons:

• There are hundreds of XMLA consumers now. It's like having list of ODBC consumers.
• Wikipedia:NOTLINK#LINK policy - There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia
• WP:EL policy - which have the following categories to be avoided:

- Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services
- Lists of links to manufacturers, suppliers or customers

• Wikipedia:NOTDIRECTORY#DIRECTORY policy
• and lastly Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest - you are the person behind ReportPortal, so promoting link to it on Wikipedia is conflict of interest.
