So we currently have a fairly massive volume of submissions every
Summit. I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of J. Random Summit
Attendee here, right after the CfP closes. What would be my motivation
for commenting on a talk that I don't even know for sure will make it
into the schedule? Content suggestions like "could you please talk
about X as well" or "could you spend some time on Y" are great *after*
the talk is confirmed. But while it's still being considered, the
logical thing is to say something like "I'd love to see this" or "I'd
not attend this" — which is exactly what we have with voting, now.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Florian
