I personally avoid being away from home on Easter, and would prefer
that the IETF meeting avoid it.
Yes, Palm Sunday is a question, but not quite on the same scale as
Easter. I will note, however, that Good Friday (the Friday before
Easter) is a national holiday in a number of countries. People
schedule vacations around that weekend.
My suggestion: take the week of April 3 or later.
I agree Easter is a date to avoid, but am not offering which way to
move the meeting. April 3rd of later seems interesting, but does
start to impact the interval between this meeting and the summer one.
