AJ's point, which I think is valid, is that if you get into deep hack
mode you don't really want to be interrupted by talks. There's some
leeway for the talks team to decide what exactly would count as a BOF
but I think that having a run of days set aside for getting practical
stuff talked about and done is a worthwhile experiment.
