I fully agree with that and want to support that. Since several years I
am fighting an invisible war against "programmeritis" Wikimania has
fallen for.
* have less talks, focus on quality and that people are actually able to
digest the information - less is more!

The counterpart to (falsely) conveying the idea that Wikimania
attendance has near-zero cost for attendees (both in terms of finance
and personal effort/involvement) is that many people, to get financial
support, are forced by the respective organisations/funders to prove
they're going to "get stuff done", to "deliver" (usually a presentation,
because it's the obvious thing).
Instead, we shold have a Wikimania in which we believe enough as to
consider it valuable in itself and where people only do stuff they're
truly engaged in.
