I would rather not see nor offer this as an upgrade. I think it's
fairer, more palatable, and closer to the general DebConf "spirit" to
offer the same food levels for everybody. Yes, 10 days of
cold-food-only would most probably suck, but alternating cold/hot
food, or even 2C1H or something like that, sounds much more likely to
avoid causing uneasiness.
