If you look back over past agendas, it's typically a day with

more are BoFs.
Friday morning is part of the IETF. It's true that generally we
schedule about half as many parallel sessions as during the rest of
the week, but that means you only need to be in 4 places at once
instead of 8 the rest of the time.
The survey results indicate that we shouldn't extend to a full day
on Friday, but scrapping those ~4 sessions would have serious impact
on scehduling constraints earlier in the week.
However, one of Tim's points is well-taken: We MUST stop scheduling
BOFs when the likelihood of people attending drops. And saying
"Friday is a real day" does no good if you put mostly BOFs on Friday.
If you want people to stick around on Friday, put only the most
important meetings then. (And no, I don't mind if my meetings are
then. I'll be there anyway.) To the extent possible, BOFs should be
early in the week so that they can be chewed on during the week.
