Yes, and we did this openly, and I don't feel we did the same thing here.
And there were still surprises, I'm told.

I was very surprised at the announcement for 100.
I kinda thought we should go back to San Diego as for IETF 1.
(well. Maybe IETF101 should be same as IETF 1... maybe IETF 100 should be
same as IETF 0, and be entirely virtual...)

(I didn't go because I generally have funds for two IETFs a year,
and given the hassle, and my concerns about what I would eat, it was simpler
to skip.  I skipped BA for a combination of economic, but primarily family 
reasons)
