Obviously if the conf is sold-out the organisers won't care, but it seems a bit mean to exclude whole user groups.
I'm assuming they included their own user group - and as subject line says, it's not a perl conference. Blanketting every possible user list will also as you say guarantee an attenence. Somewhere between 3 users and, er, however many people tried to sign up to the well-pimped, well-funded, large bbc backstage ones (ie. many times more than even the bbc can host). Not great for getting a group of people with something in common, if they get the first 2 applicants from a million lists (though that could be an interesting conference too).
