Yes, I got 0 benefit from the 2020 debconf, did not attend 2021, but
every in-person debconf yielded interesting apt discussions with
eventual useful outcomes.
Rotating DebConf between continents is a bit problematic from a CO2
perspective, but then it also enables some people from those continents
to join in the first place, and I think that's valuable to have.
