But why should Wikimedians have to worry about sharing a double room
with their partner at a Wikimania conference? If I wanted to go to
Egypt, I'd book a flight there on my own. I want to attend Wikimania.
If I cannot attend Wikimania as myself (without undue worry), with
whomever I wish to bring, I do not feel welcome and do not wish to
come.
