It's not that bad. I mean, it's a pain and all, but it's kind of funny
when 300 envelope all smelling of the same incense show up in two days.
It's kind of moot as people can self-register right now anyway.

We got vote records, back a couple of years now. We can add or omit
those that bought tickets to this year's event easily. Plus, people that
didn't set their own password by the C13 vote nor voted in C14 just
don't get notified with voting opens. (And I think now that we've got
people responsible for maintaining their own database records anyway, we
can probably dispense with the ping entirely.)
