I dunno about "yelled", but I sure do have a strong opinion. I think
too many simultaneous talks reduces collaboration across groups because
there's too many people who go to the thing they're most comfortable
with and then it's the five people there who could just as well be
giving the talk.
Which, actually, might be just fine for "do" sessions. But....
I'd also note that your submissions still heavily favor talks vs.
"do"
things. Maybe the attendees prefer the talks?
I'm still getting a lot of feedback from people who feel that they need
to be a speaker with a traditional talk in order to get funding.
