If I understood that correctly the main reason to use levels
is that we could raise more money, right?
OTOH, some of us do think that such a change could lead to
the lost of sponsors. Now, since we are discussing it for future
DebConf (see below) I think we can add that as part of our meeting
during DC7, probably it could be more productive for all of us.
Besides that, we could prepare a set of questions for all of
our sponsors and send them after DebConf with the proceedings, the
idea is (following Anthony's suggestion) to get some feedback of what
could happen if we introduce such levels.
We also should not forget about the cultural differences
between countries, which means that for world-wide companies it
won't make any difference, but for small business in certain places
it could indeed influence (which IMHO and could be wrong, which
means that the exactly opposite would happen).

So we have a consensus on the DC7 matter? In other words, for
DC7 we will not use any classification level.
