IMO, this can just as easily be overlooked by the user. Not to mention  
that if sending invites to other attendees, they will receive an  
invitation to a cancelled event.

Not all resources might be "required" though. We would need to  
implement required vs optional resources if we do something like this.

Still, I don't see this as a big issue since the freebusy info of the  
resource is available when adding it, so the likelyhood of a rejected  
resource is low.
