One potential advantage of having plenary talks might be a better sense
of cohesion for attendees.

However, we already have the day trip and the formal dinner as events
which i expect will do some of that.  And of course, no one is proposing
required attendance or anything silly like that.  The hacklab will still
be open, and some people will no doubt be sleeping or eating elsewhere.

Another advantage might be to communicate specific concerns to the
broader group, for example if we have a wrap-up session with reportbacks
from track coordinators, bosnia/DC11 exhortations, and RCBC victor
announcements.

Do you see any advantages to having plenaries?  Any disadvantages?
