I don't know where Steve's message was posted (I can't see it in the
archives or in my inbox).
It seems this would be not only favoring a vendor, but favoring someone
who doesn't participate in the community (unless we have a contributor
who is also a Coverity employee). And it would favour one (US) Python
conference over other non-US conferences, since typically sprints don't
get recorded for remote viewing.
