This is among the set of reasonable procedures to follow when there is
congestion. As with each technique suggested, there are benefits and there
are problems.
However the premise to my suggestion is that we are growing and are going
acquire larger venues eventually.
So let's acquire them a little sooner and avoid the pain of congestion and
imperfections and inconveniences of all these congestion management techniques.

ps. The plea for less active attendees to move works once. It does not
cover late arrivals. Taking a Draconian attitude towards active
participants who arrive late is an example of the imperfection of the
management techique.
