In which case you'll be late for the next session, please try not to 
disrupt things as you come in the room.

Seriously though we already have 40 mins each for Morning and afternoon 
tea plus 60 minutes for lunch (going off the 2016 schedule). 10 minutes 
out of the middle of each session is 10% of miniconf talk time. I could 
fit anouther 1-3 talks in there.

Perhaps 5 minutes minimum and some miniconfs could give another 5 if they 
think it will help. FWIW the Sysadmin Miniconf did a 5 minute break in 
2016. I think at least if the schedule has a 5 minute spot in there then 
it enables miniconfs to be coordinated.
