No coincidence. There's been a lot of criticism of these bar BoFs, and we keep 
looking for better ways to present new ideas.

Despite the name, a bar BoF today is very much lecture-style. You have a 
presentation and a time for questions. There's really very little room for 
actual discussion (which supposedly happens later in some mailling list). A 
poster session allows for conversation with the I-D author, which may or may 
not lead to better results.
