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

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.
