The list of accepted papers has been posted.
If you get this weird feeling that something is missing, remember that he was on the PC.
On a rough count, there are about 13 data structure papers (cf. 16 last year), matching my prediction that the number of papers is not really affected by PC composition. From what I understand, most PCs are not actively trying to balance accept ratios across fields, so this phenomenon has a nonobvious explanation. (Maybe it is proof that the PC mechanism "works" in some abstract sense.)
I am also happy to report that our paper was accepted.

I'd say 13 vs. 16 is not a statistically insignificant difference. If there's no advocate for your borderline paper on the committee it will get rejected. Apparently there were 3 borderline papers.
Come on, anon, there should be some nontrivial variance in the number of papers submitted. We can't take this so literally.
Having said that, however, I agree that my hypothesis would've been more convincing with 19 papers accepted instead of 13.
