An hour here, and evening there, half-a-day next...

I'll suggest that this ought to be part of a basic discussion about the 
overall time budget for the entire week.

For example, there were some comments when Bits n' Bites was first 
proposed that the week was already over-full with IETF activities and 
that taking a way one more evening with a scheduled activity was 
actually counter-productive.

In spite of being a community that must do its engineering based on 
fundamental resource constraints -- this was, after all, an essential 
motivation for inventing packet-switching -- we schedule our week with 
little consideration of trade-offs and limitations.
