Yes, you are right. Again, as it has become obvious: I am quite
time-constrained right now, and will be mostly-unavailable during the
first 3 weeks of July. However, I am more than willing to be the (or
one of the) on-site DebConf schedule-jugglers.
I promise not to reschedule plenaries^Wgrand^Wnon-competing talks
between 3 and 7AM.

IIRC we _had_ implemented this idea for DC5 or DC6 (which ran using a
different CMS - One written by me, and scratched since. Don Armstrong
made the subsystem for voting for talks. But no, it's not adapted for
Penta... and I doubt we have time to come up with such a hack right
now.
