    I wonder if we may find it easier to take opinions on this if we separate the ideas of “we should only have one formal coordinated release a year, because teams are finding the cadence too fast to do the sort of work required in each release, and consumers are finding the cadence too fast to prepare downstream editions of each release” from “we should reduce the frequency of in-person meetings”.  From my perspective, both are important debates to have, and both potential decisions have wide-ranging consequences, but I find the conflation to distract from reasoned consideration of each.
