Absolutely true, especially with the sort of network the IETF has, which
is a complex enterprise-grade network with redundant networks, all put
together within a few days and torn down even faster.  However, there is a
certain extent to which portions of this network can be kept alive longer
than others.  In any event, the limiting factors would seem to be when the
network team plans to leave and...

deadline later is not impossible, though it may be more expensive than
it's worth.  It seems like this is an area in which the IAOC could do some
