I agree that one the problems is the number of slots. In my
opinion, more 25-minute slots with higher number of smaller rooms would make
for a better conference.
Regarding commenting on proposals, I think it is the duty of the
program committee to be as open as possible in the selection process. Commenting
on a proposal takes only a few minutes. A few hundred submissions is not too
many to comment on individually.

Sapphire has been declined
I
tried to answer your questions at a blog post I’ve written which
you’ve seen I guess.
It
is not that only long talks are short in supply, slots in general are very
limited. I can understand that new projects proposals need some attention,
however with the space available we cannot even cover all new projects and the
existing projects in depth.
With
the time and the resources available it is simply not feasible to have a
detailed description for each and every talk why that specific one was or
wasn’t selected. In the end the PC has to make a decision on the
information available (abstract, project status, …) as well as some
feeling how well accepted a talk will be by the attendees. The first part is
easy (as it is based on facts) whereas the second part is pretty though and
obviously reflects the opinions of the people involved.
I
think in that special case it is just too early (project is still in
pre-project phase) to justify a short or even a long talk (given that we are
very limited on those anyway…)
