I was wondering whether tracks could maybe be let to self-organize a
bit, by loosening the deadline requirement and letting them schedule
their talks in a half-day (or possibly day, for really popular tracks?)
slot themselves. I guess the talks selection team should still be in
the loop to guarantee an appropriate level of quality.
On the other hand, this would imply choosing tracks pretty soon so I am
not sure this is feasable if it is welcome at all.
