That's not necessarily true.
Some people want to register to the list with a mail different to the
one they gave the system. Some might adding extra registrations now,
even after the registration to Comas is closed, as I am adding them by
hand.
I am not convinced we should have Comas closed to new
registrations... People can still register, but they should be warned
that we cannot warrant their accomodation or feeding. Even more - If,
as we talked in IRC, there is a food distribution system, they should
be allowed to... ummmm... Pick the leftovers ;-)
Greetings!
