I can't imagine that it helped when they moved the conference to where
he was going to be.  If somebody had booked flights months ago to get
lower rates, had hotels reserved, and so on, then that is a lot of
rebooking, change fees, and so on, and chances are the accommodations
aren't the same as what you'd have gotten with planning ahead.

++  Nobody owns Linus.  By now the kernel should be at a point where
others can manage the workflow if he isn't around.
