The problem is that we now are expected to have work going non stop from

look healthy.

That’s already what many of us do, with 12-16 hour days, following our
regular work week the previous week, and slipping actual travel time in
between other work.
It’s not that anybody expects me to work that amount of time, it’s just
that that’s the amount of work I need to get done during IETF weeks. Many
times I’ve had people want to schedule hours-long meetings on Sunday
“before” IETF, but I have IETF commitments that day. So this updating the
description to match reality.
I don't think anyone is disputing that this is updating the
description to match reality. I believe Christian's question is
an attempt to prompt us to reassess that reality and its
sustainability, which seems a fair question to consider.
