Well, we *knew* about that when voting for this location. 350 is a
really high number. I know that Switzerland is one of the most
convenient places to go and that increases the likeliness that the
record for number of attendees is broken in 2013....but, still. 350 is
a really high number and I still wait to see if we'll really have that
number of attendees.
And, still, if we reach that limit, then it will be DC13 weakness to
have to limit the number of attendees (or asking those who "do not
fit" to arrange their own accomodation). No DebConf is perfect,
anyway.
