DebConf will be in 1.5 years. So thats another 2 months of quite intense
DebConf time.
And around that time (January/February) the improved travel sponsorship

There are at least two more ways around this, including:

the money we'll be using to ensure no sponsored attendee will cancel is
coming from the sponsored attendees who cancel; that logic is somewhat
