I think the main issue is that there's always *too many* proposals.
It's been great to see the team last year switch from
first-come-first-picked to a curated process. Opening the
submissions for that even earlier will just put extra burden on them
to select the few lightning talks we can have. I think there is
definitely value in requiring people to physically submit a piece of
paper (= effort) at the right time (= need to pay attention) as
a means to pre-filter the submissions to just the set of people who
really want to speak, rather than just those who are just quick to 
put their name down for everything.
