Not everyone is leaving Prague on the Friday evening. That includes people who live on the same continent and can’t get flights home that night.

There’s *never* going to be an IETF meeting plan/agenda that suits everyone. Suck it up.

FWIW I don’t like having the extra sessions on the Friday afternoon. However IMO it is preferable to alternatives such as longer days, earlier starts, shorter breaks or more WGs meeting in parallel. YMMV.
