I only heard comments from maybe 3-4 people. Only one complained
much, and ey said that ey couldn't come without sponsorship (but ey is
only from the far side of connecticut). In his case, checking the log
tables, ey registered on April 13, but didn't save eir
conference_person (the actual DebConf10 record) until much later when
ey submitted a talk. This _could_ be adequate for making an
exception (and if we did now, it wouldn't be too late for em to
come).
No one explicitly complained of undue hardship or that they had booked
things. No one said it was unfair. Overall, it wasn't as painful as
I thought it would be... but that doesn't make it any better.
So, what do you all think we should do?
