I'm not big on putting the Test Days into that schedule, I think the
current system works fine from a scheduling POV.

I don't think having fewer Test Days would improve attendance. I think
people just show up to Test Days they're really personally interested
in, no matter how many there are. I don't think many people are thinking
'well, I'd come out to all the Test Day events, even ones I don't care
about, if there were fewer of them!' That's just my gut feeling, though.

I suspect if we do, say, a systemd Test Day for F14 it'd have quite good
attendance as it's a bit of a 'hot topic'.
