I think these are related.  One thing that I think was lost with this
UDS was a sense of "ownership" of a particular track.  I felt like
before the track leads knew what was on their track, and why it was
there.  This created a certain amount of continuity.

What I think happened is that the number of sessions got overwhelming
for the track leads, there was no way to keep up.  Which is true.

So what I'd propose is have a set of "focused tracks" where there is
strong leadership from the track leads.  And then have a set of
un-tracks that are loosely aligned, but allow for the breadth of
materials that UDS covers.
