Hi Matt,
I don't think sponsor slots per se are damaging, the problem is that they take up a seat. Combined with this fanatic 'we must only allow our favorite 80 elite people into the room' idea. In this situation sponsor slots are costly and often a waste at the technical level. Same goes with having 12 committee members for an 80 seat summit, but nobody seems to like to talk about that issue :)
