This would be an entirely academic discussion if attendance at WWDC were not for all practical purposes the only way to get answers to thorny iOS/OSX development questions once you've given up on the black hole that is Radar.

I get the motivation for keeping it small, but this is far from an unalloyed good. The "Tech Talks" roadshow is at least a step in the right direction, but frankly they should be duplicating WWDC itself: California in May, New York City in October, London in February? It'd be a start at least.

(Or, I guess, they could actually fix Radar and let internal engineers kibbitz regularly on forum threads, but now we're well into the realm of science fiction.)
