Only if it didn't directly affect our ability to sign up sponsors, and
restrict the delegate pool that would otherwise be interested in the
conference.
And even if it *were* fair to say that, as an organiser, I'd much
rather have the time to chase more sponsors so that we can put on a
better conference. The time spent explaining the role of LA to one
large, potential sponsor could have been used tracking down further
keynote speakers.
Our time is limited. If an *avoidable* task has been created, it
directly affects our ability to serve the Python programming community
through running PyCon Australia.
