Absolutly agreed. We should be as strict as usual.

I dont think we should pay for family members or *friends _ever_, with the 
exception of some accompanying a handicapped person, who cannot travel alone.

It's really not in DebConfs interest. If they volunteer, OTOH I see them as 
volunteers, not as friends&family.

AFAIK this year the sponsors hasnt said "we'll sponsor everyone". AFAIK its 
like all the years before, where we'll try to sponsor everyone involved in 
Debian (or DebConf).
