I think better then to keep in lock-step about that plan. For the talks, we know about it, shorter time means higher quality...and in the end, its a bit of ballot box stuffing on getting talks...one thing that would be really nice is to make cuts on talks too! and/or recommendation for updates on other talks...at some point, just accepting everything allows noise.
