I agree with Chris, I'd like to see the whole week being used as well even if it's quieter on the last day (maybe we can ask in advance if people plan on leaving early or not attending the last day at all).
Personally I find having main Summit and DDF overlapping distracting as it makes the schedule much larger and with so many people around that the hallway track can be really useful but also pulls you away from getting stuff done. I actually like having a smaller more quiet DDF where teams can work and get some stuff done. I'm not sure about others but I've always found the integration DDF sessions to be very productive.
