I agree. Both because it may lead to a more reasonable working pace (we have the Internet for low-latency dissemination anyway), but also because the relentless long-distance travel is not environmentally sustainable.

(In theory, the editors will make sure the recommendations are conflict-free and sensible, but given their workloads, I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of them took the authors' suggestions at face value.)
