I do agree with that line of thought.

This has one kinda-unrelated implication: as we'll probably use all rooms of
that category in any case (even with 1 person per room), that means we'll have
to clean all of them at the end of DebConf. That's of course mitigated if the
rooms are filled.

I agree. As I expressed in the IRC meeting: I really think (and I have seen
the rooms/beds) that being the 8th in an 8-beds room is way more confortable
than being the 16th in a 16-beds room: for privacy, for available private
space, for noise, etc. The ideal comfort is provided by having have all rooms
half-filled, but if we want to have as many DebConf attendees as possible, I
think it's a better plan to try filling the "good beds" before the "bad beds",
and mitigate the "perceived very crappy beds" by making those more acceptable.

I agree.
Thanks,
