Hello Oliver,

Now is a bit late to have this discussion for this year's edition. You
should have brought this up two months ago when it was first suggested
and there was still time to find an alternative.

Although I mostly agree with your objections, it's less than 2 months to
the conference now so postponing it might be even more harmful.
