I am in favor of the goals but concerned about conflicts between BOFs. BOFs explore possible new work items for the IETF, and some decisions made in BOFs can be significant for the direction of IETF work, and hard to undo after the fact. I am more likely to be unhappy about a scheduling conflict between BOFs than between a BOF and a WG that is continuing in its ordinary work, so I like having BOFs spread out through the week. Have you thought about sensitivity of conflicts, and if so what were your thoughts?
