Agreed. What about using a non-problematic phrase instead like (please
correct in proper English):

	The 2010 Annual Debian Developer Conference

and drop any mention of `tenth' or `eleventh' in order not to introduce
a false affirmation, or what might sound confusing. Any one who cares to
count how many DebConf occured has her response easily (cf. the left
column of the main page of DebConf10 which list the ten "Past DebConfs"
[0]), no need give the answer or argue about it.

[0] http://debconf10.debconf.org/

Cheers
