IMO this is wrong/impractial: it would be nice to have if people are
able to
select their room mates. And we try to. But its not a should or must.
Could you elaborate? Aren't we talking about adults who make decisions for
themselves, particularly about things like where they sleep, and the more
choices and freedoms that are taken away from them due to prices or
beaurocracy, the more people will exercise their last remaining choice, not to
come at all?
Trying to figure out how to to such selection, we found some problems:
- privacy: such system should permit people to check all rooms to see it
they desired category/roommates is available. Such data could be easily
abused.
- practical reasons:
-- one people book the room for all group? But he has the information
about special diets and so on?
-- or every one book, but what about if an other group book the other
beds before the initial group finished the booking,
Probably these problems are technically solvable, as improving penta.
But reality is different!
