Brutal... Must make planning hell. But the converse can also be screwy.
Here for example I submitted two papers to ESRI for their UC in plenty of time for their deadline, months and months in advance, which unfortunately were passed over for other paper sessions, (some of which were very lightweight, some of which were already presented previously, and so on...). I show up at the conference to see a number of cancelled paper sessions, and have no opportunity to present mine.
Just can't win at these things...
