[Scale-planning] Expo Pass

[Lei Zhang]

If there are two different kinds of card stock, then that requires a
separate registration / check-in line for expo passes, where the
printers are loaded with the expo pass card stock. Or it would require
printers that have 2 paper trays. Not to mention we need to buy 2
different card stocks and buy enough of both so they do not run out.

Ribbon flags to separate full passes from expo passes is hard to get
right. If we make full attendees wear the ribbon, then some will
forget or lose their ribbons and get mistaken for expo attendees. If
we make the expo attendees wear the ribbon, some of them will lose
their ribbons and become full attendees.
