Sure, we understand the goal. But i thought shift workers also don't
necessarily have 24-hour periodic schedules and that may turn out to be
better.
Total maximum system performance may also not be desirable if it
persistently penalizes one part of the communit group and favors another.
How about we make the next IETF start at 8 AM china time ?
E.g.: lots of more options to investigate.
