I disagree. As we will provide different levels of comfort, they need to be
clearly identified as they have a different price. My naming policy was "in
increased electrical conductivity", but I'm fine with any better naming
policy. Putting names also avoids the "stars", "luxury" or other (perceived)
negative bias.

"Forbidding" a sponsored accomodation attendee to pay the increase to get a
better comfort is not a restriction I would put in place (at least not
explicitely).

That's currently in Aluminium. We could split it in two but it sounds like
additional bureaucracy for close to no benefit.

I think selling "rooms" instead of "beds" will create a lot of confusion. All
the prices on the wiki page are for "beds in ${category} room".

That's currently 8.- as the "breakfast discount" is from 40 to 32. I'm not
sure it's really worth more, but I'd be fine with 10.-. I think having things
listed explicitely (food, accomodation, conference) makes it clearer to
everyone.

Good point. * 6 days then. I don't know how to modify the wiki page to make
that clear though.

Fair enough, dropping this then.

Agreed. Thanks for your feedback.
