At previous Summits, did we have an Operators track? There seem to be a<br>

The track chairs for all the tracks keep trying to kick these talks to<br>
other tracks, but they don't seem to really fit anywhere, so the move<br>

I don't really have a solution, I'm just making an observation that we<br>
