Yeah, and this complicates orga for all of us, really. Since we
don't charge for registration, the only other idea I have to prevent
people from registering blindly and then not showing up is to record
this and consider such "bad behaviour" in the future, e.g. when
making bursary decisions, when the conference is "too full" (if this
ever happens), or when accepting talks. But this would need to be
communicated clearly in advance.
