Let me disagree strongly. Saturday and Sunday are already full days for
some people - writing code rather than going to meetings, in many cases.
Sunday, Friday and Saturday are each unacceptable to some people for
personal reasons; using Friday morning is a compromise. Many people would
find taking more than 5 days out of the office impossible. I don't think
that we can completely avoid late evenings.

I hear a rumour of scaling back to only one plenary (like the old days).
That seems very desirable.
