TBH, I wouldn't mind it (and I think I would actually prefer it) if we 
went back to the OG model of having the summit and the design summit at 
the same time. I was never into the split off into the PTG but wanted to 
be open minded. I think having the user-oriented energy of the summit 
combined with the ability to participate on the dev side at the same 
event was a good thing. I might be alone in this feeling though.

That said, I think gmann highlighted the challenge with this would be 
how we really need to have two events per year to collaborate on each 
upcoming release. I wonder if we could do one co-located event with the 
summit and then a virtual PTG for the other cycle? I dunno if the 
virtual PTG is too resource intensive. I'm generally not a fan of 
virtual events but I have quite liked the virtual PTG. I think it has 
been running really smoothly and very productive.

Just my 2c.
