[Gocamino] Should albergues only accept those walking to Santiago?

There has been a lot of discussion and concern about the enormous pressure
on albergues during the Holy Year.
The pilgrims' office estimates that only 1-in-5 pilgrims on the camino will
earn a Compostela.
Thousands walk short sections of the main routes, or variants (like the
Aragones, Catalan, San Salvador etc), with no intention of walking to
Santiago.  Perhaps one way to lessen the burden would be for albergues to
only accept pilgrims who are walking to Santiago?
I know that it would be hard to police, but the word would soon move along
the grape vine and those not walking to Santiago could find alternative
accommodation leaving beds free for the die-hard, Santiago Holy Year
pilgrims.
