I don't know. I'm still undecided on how to split tracks. Level wise,
topic wise. I think splitting them mostly topic wise and then marking
talks is one way of doing it[1].

Doing it like you suggest makes this track, in some ways, "lower". This
is where you go to if you're inexperienced, a first timer or something
else we think less of. This is a gut feeling but I think, within the
conference, everything should be equal.
