Title: Remove DNS Seeds run by entities which were never well-established.

As there is a clear policy DNS Seeds should be adhering to, they also need to be run by community members which are semi-trusted to act according to this policy. These two nodes were submitted without any clear evidence of community trust in their organizations and, as such, should either provide such evidence, or be removed.

@ayeowch and @bitkevin were the original submitters of the pull requests which added these nodes. Note that they are both part of projects to add more full nodes to the network, which they can continue to do with or without a DNS Seed.

Also, blog.open-nodes.org seems to indicate they are running nodes with aggressive outbound connection counts, amounting to attacking the network and replacing diversely-operated nodes with ones they run :(.
