I like it.  To make it easy to select in the track list, I am
interpreting your idea to be choices of:

Talk (30 min)
Talk (60 min)
Do-Session (120 Min)
Do-Session (240 Min)

I also like this :)

Sounds like we need to alert in the CFP that do-sessions have this
requirement.  We should also mention that if you need more than 240 min
you should propose a "part 1" and a "part 2" and just note that both
are
required (or if part 2 is optional).

+1 to all of these, except the 240min do-session. That seems rather long to
me, maybe 3 hours as max time is enough.
