I believe 165 talks is a very good pool to make a selection from. Quite
possibly any extension would only invite hurriedly submitted proposals
which by the very nature of being submitted at the end, may not be good
- I admit I may be a far fetched here a bit, but a good possibility of it.

We should make an extension *only* if the selection committee feels the
pool needs to be enriched with more quality submissions - not for
inviting arbitrary "n" number of fresh submissions. I don't think this
is the case.
