It's just too long to be away, and fails to bring the IEEE people
into the Hackathon.

Imagine we moved the Hackathon to Thursday starting at 5pm (to 9pm)
[because it as you said, it takes a bunch of time just to setup], all of
Friday, and then into Saturday. (and maybe even Sunday).

The Hackathon doesn't have to be *contiguous* for everyone, and one can
wander off to 3-4hr joint meetings easily in my opinion.

{I acknowledge that there is great value in having the Hackathon before the
IETF WG meetings}

Another idea is to have IEEE followed by Hackathon followed by IETF.
That might make both of us happy?
