Thank you, this answers many of my questions. You forgot to
cut-n-paste one of the (IMO) more useful answers from that page:

"What was the Hackathon not announced earlier?"
"Planning the Hackathon started with very little runway before IETF
92, Dallas. At the time, it was not clear if it would be possible to
do anything in Dallas, or if we would need to wait for IETF 93,
Prague. We were able to pull together a room, network, and champions
for a few technologies very quickly.

Presented with the choice of trying something last minute in Dallas
vs. waiting until Prague, we decided to go for Dallas. The rationale
was that due to the late notice, the Dallas Hackathon would be
relatively small and provide lots of good insights into how to do
things bigger, better, and MUCH earlier for IETF 93."

Cool.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
