Thierry Carrez 4d56baded8 Remove team diversity tags ...

Team diversity tags (single-vendor and diverse-affiliation) no
longer provide useful context for our users:

- As projects mature and feature development activity is more
  limited, a lot of projects were flapping between states
  depending on a couple commits or reviews, cross-project work
  or community goals activity.

- In teams where a single individual ends up picking up the bulk
  of core reviewing duties, the diversity tags incentivized them
  to limit their activity.

- Data was based on Stackalytics, which is not a highly reliable
  data source. Basing tags on raw data is not a great idea. Raw
  diversity data should be used to raise flags for further
  analysis (with context) rather than jumping to conclusions.

- Binary tags can't reflect the complexity of that data.
  Single-vendor does not mean the same for PowerVMStackers and
  for Keystone. Trends are actually more important than value
  at a single point in time.

- Organizational diversity is just one factor of fragility for
  project teams. Individual fragility (where the bulk of the
  work is done by one person) is actually more prevalent those
  days.
