So to a large degree, the actual nuts-and-bolts planning which that
meeting was meant to cover happens now at the "hackathons" instead.
It's important I think, however, for the XenSummit to have a venue for
people in the industry who may not know about the Hackathons (or for
whatever reason can't come to them) to raise issues with the core
developers and have them discussed.

If the parallel track could actually fulfill that role, then I think it
would be enough; the key would be making sure that the appropriate
attention could be attracted.
