Correct. And for good reason also; it's useful for attendees and it
allows a decoupling of the time it takes to sort and arrange the swag
from actually handing it out. That should make front desk's life
easier.
As an aside, LinuxCon EU had separate front desk and swag desk. That
way, it was decoupled even more.

PS: As DebConf13 had other t-shirts around as well: LinuxCon folded
the two shirts that were given away into each other in matching sizes.
That allowed them to hand out two shirts in one go.
