I think, that at least in recent history, it's proven that the
bursaries allocation hasn't been fully utilized, so I personally feel
that it would be appropriate to conservatively explore overcommitment
of our bursaries budget.
The next action items would be to come up with a conservative %
estimate for overcommitment, so that we can be sure budget won't be
killed. Also, we'd want to get sign off from chairs@ (who would work
with leader@ to give debconf insurance in the unlikely event that we
aren't conservative enough in our overcommitment.)
