This was discussed during the IETF, when several BOFs (including 
homenet and repute) were so crowded that people could not get in. 
The usual good points were made about BOFs attracting interest from 
newcomers, etc.

By the way, the rough consensus that I detected from that discussion 
was "get bigger rooms for BOFs".
