Perhaps someone from the Usenix office could explain why sales are not
permitted on the floor of the Usenix vendor exhibition.  I can think
of a number of reasons both pro and con, but am interested in why it
is not permitted at present.   I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that
it be permitted without hearing the reasons why it is not at present,
but it certainly would trivially solve the "bookstore" problem.
