FWIW, 28% of only 400+ rooms feels like a rather big number.
Had Ray said "5%", it wouldn't have occurred to ma to propose
that particular exercise.
I'd like to point out the obvious, which is that there are two parts
to the hold-back number. Expanding the IETF room block from 400 to,
say, 800 or 900, would be a way to shrink the percent and cut way
back on the "how can the hotel be sold out within an hour of the
announcement" complaints.
