Agreed.
The only way I could see this happen would be as a "sponsored tutorial" like we had in the past. They were called out in the program, and took place on the hotel side rather than the convention center side. I also remember talks that were clearly marked as being paid for by a company rather than being a peer-reviewed submission. The submission by IBM Lotus used as an example here would seem to fall into this category, but I don't know if something like this is planned for EclipseCon 2009. Scott? Bjorn?
