The main downside to this (aside from the additional effort and money
required) is that what you'll end up with is that many of the folks who
might otherwise go to both will then only end up going to one.  So, some of
the collaboritve aspects of the conference will suffer, because D devs who
would have otherwise had a yearly meetup then don't see each other. I also
don't know if it makes sense to talk about splitting dconf in two when we
don't necessarily have enough folks to have a multi-track conference. But I
expect that we'll eventually end up with multiple D conferences a year,
whether they're all "dconf" or not.
