100% agreed and thanks for saving me from writing this. If you dont remember 
what Brian said here, please read it again.

IOW: an bronce (or other minor) sponsor providing official looking conference 
bags with just their logo and the debconfX logo is *not* ok. That would be an 
offer we *must* reject and disallow as it will hurt our relation with other 
sponsors.
