I really don't believe that we have enough people for 2 booths.   To be
successful, we need to have at least 3 people in each booth at all
times ... and 5 people is better.    We're actually going to have *less*
speakers at OSCON this year, and thus potentially less PG attendees
overall.

I think if we had 2 booths, we'd end up with times where we had 1 person in
the .org booth and 2 people in the commercial booth, and that would look
pathetic.   Far better to have a roiling mob at a single booth.  Just like
it's far better to have an audience of 150 in a room that holds 125 than
an audience of 175 in a room that holds 350.
