So where would you hold 25 parallel breakfast meetings? How would we ever 
manage conflicts?

Where we always hold them: in the hotel restaurant.   I'm not suggesting 
anything more formal than that—I agree that this doesn't scale if you try to 
have catered meeting rooms for each wg.   The scaling problem for wg chairs is 
different, because they don't have to go to any meeting but their own.   The 
question is whether this work is as important as the other business we do over 
food.   That's up to the various working group chairs to decide; I'm simply 
proposing that this might not be a bad thing for chairs to consider doing if 
they think it worthwhile.
