Running over is why it's right before lunch indeed.

Server, Workstation, and Env & Stacks all have their own sessions.
There's also a Fedora.next advocating talk, a governance workshop, a
talk about Fedora.next and Spins, and an F22 Fedora.next session. We
already have a LOT of Fedora.next content. Repeating a bunch of
content that is already split out into separate sessions isn't a good
use of anyone's time. Make your overviews and updates in the joint
session short and it should be doable within an hour or a bit over.
Ok, makes sense to me.
