So, people not staying formally with us will get access to
pool/concert/daytrip? I expect the answer to be "yes"... :)

Yes - This field has always been required, but often ignored, as the
few disabled people directly contact us with their needs and
restrictions anyway. Having it as a field gives us little.

Oh, it's always been a completely separate part.

Thing is, the sponsorship for food+accom is usually (this can of
course be changed) decided in a different way than travel
sponsorship.

Conceptually, they are paying for the conference - Most conferences
will charge you Big Bucks for having the privilege of being there. We
could say that at DebConf we sponsor everybody for those Big Bucks,
but still allow to pay them, without turning into a sponsor.
