Well, there is a fine line there. The last Worldcon where the organizers basically ignored the usual Worldcon suspects was Torcon in 2003. Which was flat out the worst Worldcon in the last 30 years minimum, and were it not for last minute troubleshooting would've been even worse (examples: Programming was being effectively done on the fly by Program Ops, there was a real danger of crowd related multiple injuries at the major events, and, save for the actual presentation of the entries, the Masquerade was pretty much a disaster (and even that was interrupted in the middle due to someone having had a hissy fit about their halftime show). See Cheryl Morgan's writeup at http://www.emcit.com/emcit097.shtml#Wheels). You want to both revitalize Worldcon and avoid having major meltdowns due to not listening to people who know what'll lead to such.
