I don't really think there's anything that prevents us from doing a
"Virtual Connect" if we are prepared to be somewhat flexible about the
definition. It would be an interesting experiment and certainly avoids
us doing no checkpoint summit for such a long time.

There's also nothing that stops us from doing smaller sprints even if we
/do/ run a virtual connect, though. And to your point about cross-team
work, there's no reason why the sprint needs to be done along team
boundaries - in fact, the most important thing for the sprint is to have
a clear purpose and outcome.
