Well. We are flexible, but we cannot be arbitrary flexible. We also need to 
stick to our plans, announcements and budget.

And, we dont force anybody to come at any dates. We just offer to cover costs 
for people for certain dates, also known as debcamp and debconf. People _can_ 
come and leave when they want - it's just that they then might need to cover 
some costs themselves.

Having to pay 1-200 nights more than expected is a non neglectable (and non 
calculatable) cost.

So we need to draw lines and stick to them.

That would be quite chaotic. People would rely on us and then we revert the 
decision. Come on, thats bad.
