While I have never attended dconf itself, conferences itself

Since this thread is about replacing the outdated DConf format
with two possible in-person formats that feature _more_
interpersonal interaction, I have no idea why you're making this
point to me.

Thank you for making clear that the real reason you and some
others like the current format is because you want to have a
fun "vacation"- as I pointed out in that earlier thread-
rather than anything to do with D or advancing the ecosystem.
Thank you for not reading everything I said and literally only
the past 5 words; I said it's also that, but not entirely.
Everything you wrote before that I addressed with a separate
comment which you didn't cut-n-paste, maybe you missed that too.
As for this justification, the only reason you gave is that it's
a "escape from reality"/"mini vacation", along with hand-waving
about "much more." I can't address reasons you never gave.
