Travel sponsorship is very important. However, it *is* something we
could do without. If some weeks/months ago we were worried because too
many people would arrive, having no travel sponsorship would "help"
somewhat. I'm torn at writing this, because that "help" would
translate into having less people able to attend — But it is a real
thougt anyway.

Now... *I* draw a line: I'm willing to accept a DebConf with no travel
sponsorship, but not one where it is hard to get sponsored
accomodation and food.
