This is an interesting suggestion.
Any meeting that is early in the week gets the benefit of follow-on
hallways discussions, during the rest of the week. However BOFs are a
specific class of meetings that tend to need this more than most.
BOFs are trying to gain interest and even a good BOF will tend to
engender some fuzziness, with resulting efforts at clarification. This
often benefits most from the combinations of smaller discussions that
are so common during IETF meetings.
It's not just hallway talk.
IETF attendance patterns clearly indicate that
a BOF on Friday will be more lightly attended than on
other days (especially M-W).
