For the Hawaii IETF, some years ago, a truly wonderful t-shirt was
designed, with the title "Nerds in Paradise".

Methinks your note suggests an interesting one for this latest meeting,
with someone rolling their speeding wheel-chair through a crowd -- knocking
people over? -- to the front of the room.

"Guaranteed seating, in an overcrowded IETF" doesn't have quite the
pithiness of "same day delivery in a nanosecond world" but.

Or perhaps it should be labeled "Survival of the sittest".
