Good point.
Pragmatically, the reason for holding the events at LWCEs:
1. A large critical mass;
2. An excuse to fly Redhatters there on someone else's budget.
It's all about budget. Until there's a larger pile of money devoted to
FUDCons and other Fedora events, it's a matter of opportunistic
pragmatism.
