Is a long list of software vendors acceptable in the external links section? Requesting input from other editors since [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Finite-difference_time-domain_method&diff=527944675&oldid=527909001 the list] has been restored.

I agree that the list violates the [[WP:NOTDIR]] policy. But I am personally not bothered by a long list at the end; it doesn't really interrupt the flow of the article. It is a list of FDTD software packages; the best solution may be to put the list into its own page and refer to it in the [[Finite-difference time-___domain method#See Also|See Also]] section. For example, the long [[List of finite element software packages]] is separate from the [[Finite element method]] page. A separate list page would allow the development of descriptions and comparisons of the packages, which could be invaluable to those who want to implement FDTD methods.
