That does not surprise me. A lot of people do not link a blueprint to
their session proposal on the design summit session suggestion system --
sometimes it's the discussion itself which allows to formulate the right
blueprints, and those are filed in the weeks just after the summit. And
I think that's fine.

It would be more interesting to check how many blueprints are created
more than two weeks after the design summit. Those would be the late
blueprints (or the ones created as a tickbox), which escape the release
planning process.
