Yes, this is one of the things I put on the wiki page.  Could you

An important part about a Hackathon is that there is a concrete list

Good idea.  Could you please add these points to the wiki page?

For now, I think this is the best way to go.  The bikeshed discussion
is going nowhere.  (unless Elf comes up with something we can agree on)
