The idea is not bad. As Moray said, we have done something similar before
and getting it right will require special attention in the registration in
$PENTA_REPLACEMENT plus extra eyes when doing the room allocation.
Also, we might have a lot of more demand of 'better' accommodation than
we're able to provide.
BTW, I don't remember us mentioning anywhere but some people when paying
the profesional or corporate fees expect to have a better bed/room. Specially
those paying the corporate fee.
