I'm not a charter member or associated with the FOSS4G organisers, but having 
attended a FOSS4G event and having been part of a volunteer conference 
organisation, I respectfully ask that you reconsider. This is a very late 
change to a lot of conference materials, and at a particularly bad time for 
the organisers.

In software terms, I'm not suggesting that your proposal isn't a valid change, 
just that it is too late in the release cycle.

If nothing else, consider the environmental impact of all that stuff being 
junked.
