Exactly. Too much pointless formality creeping in all the time.
That's a negative trend and is not IMO at all necessary.

So:

- Fewer to zero well-organised alcohol-free Barbie-BoFs next
time please.

- And more real bar-BoFs with no agenda and the alcohol option
for those that want it.

- If someone wants an empty room the secretariat should give
it to them if possible. Or you should just walk in and use
the space if no one else is there. We should just trust folks
for that, until there's a reason not to do so.

- Lars' draft should have security considerations. When a real
bar BoF lasts too long, there's much more chance of drunkenness,
loudness, questionable humour and other good things. With the
Barbie-BoFs, there's a higher probability of a full week's worth
of process-induced boredom leading to crappy security designs
being accepted.
