That could be a dangerous precedent. If regions with high concentration of Debian people start doing MiniDebConfs in parallel with DebConfs that happen in less densely-populated regions, we could be removing the incentive for people to attend DebConf when it is, let's say, not so convenient travel-wise. I understand that not everyone has the availability for longer trips for several reasons, there are carbon footprint concerns, etc. But DebConfs outside of central Europe already have a smaller attendance, it would be nice if we could avoid giving people one more reason not to go. MiniDebConf can be held at any other time of the year.
