And to be more clear now that I have a real keyboard, I did enjoy the
conference like every year, my comments were simply from the optimizer I
can never stop being :)
While as I already said, my own talk was redundant this year, I'm sure
there were other worthwhile talks that were rejected simply due to lack of
slots, and I was worried that maybe one or more of those could have
filled the empty slots.
As you said, in real life (I don't have the data, you seem to), maybe
there was not a single talk that would have made the cut, and that 
could have been given with little advance notice.
If so, that's life, nothing is perfect :)

(and I'm bummed that I missed the notice that there were BOFs in there
instead, my bad for missing that)
