Just to be clear, my understanding of rescheduling M leaves a 30-minute
gap for "lunch" time, with no other gaps during the day.
This sounds like a grueling schedule for the video-team (not to mention
other folks), but i'm willing to entertain it if people are interested.

I don't have a strong argument for the break, other than that four
contiguous hours of talks sounds exhausting, and it might be nice to
have a bit of scheduled downtime where you could follow up on things
with other participants without feeling like you were keeping them from
being at another session.
I've never been to a debconf before, though, so i don't know if this is
really relevant to other folks' experience of past conferences.
What do other people think?
