I feel the same as you. I advocated against this change for a year now,
but waited like you to see where this would go.

This cycle I preferred to pick Summit over PTG as I think it's harder to
meet users and operators than it is to meet developer – with whom I work
with all years on IRC or mailing-lists.

Cherry on the cake, by doing this I'm not entitled to a free ATC pass to
attend the summit. I would have to spend $300 to attend a conference for
a project I wrote code for during the last 5 years. Sigh.

Our developer community shrunk this last year and I cannot envision the
benefit of spreading it over 4 events a year.

Cheers,
