Well, it doesn't seem at all excessive to me, given the rate and volume
at which we do things around here. That said, if a significant number of
cores think it's not doable, then I guess that's a data point.

From what you said above, it sounds like you're okay with the meetings
but not the requirement for cores. I said "expect" above -- is that a
reasonable thing? Expect them to be present, unless they have a reason
not to be there? Reasons could be personal or preference, but hopefully
not "I never come to midcycles because $reason."

Yeah, I have a hard time justifying anything by comparing us to other
projects. I've been involved with plenty and don't think any of them are
useful data points for what we should or should not do here in terms of
anything related to velocity :)
