Perhaps. It depends on how many of attendees there will be. But we also should 
leave some time for more fun/random stuff, so we don't get too bored or 
insane (or more insane). 
Having a bunch of developers in one room is also a good way to get harder 
things done. Force your idea enough and we may work on it together. Things 
like user/group managment, IMP, smgl-fhs, init metadata, sorcery cookie 
support (we already support beer) ...

* random thought: come to think of it, since they like security so much, I 
imagine them more like some steelclad dwarves, running around the uni, 
shouting at laptop users "You're a threat to your computer's safety" and 
axing their hands off.
