Exactly how many weeks per year do you think Apple's engineers should take away 
from their primary jobs in order put on WWDCs? Or to put my point more 
directly: this will never happen, for very good reasons. WWDC is very special 
because Apple makes the engineers who create the OS & frameworks & tools 
available for direct interaction. That makes it a wonderful resource for 
developers, but also an inherently constrained one.

I'd personally rather have it this way and difficult to access, than have the 
typical conference: run mostly by presenters with a week of training, and maybe 
the occasional engineering manager showing up for an hour to give a speech 
before being whisked back to work.
