Yes, but preserve current behaviour of autolock.

That would be useful and comfortable for users.

But if the ops' connection fails and this question never appears I'd
prefer that everybody else is kicked out. Well, maybe kick out after 1+
or 2+ minutes of ops' inactivity / absence or similar to avoid kicking
the whole conference just because of temporary ops connection problem.

Thinking about this some more behaviour of autolock could also be like this.

Uuuh, I'm feeling bad for having too much ideas without being able to
submit pull requests...

Ciao, Michael.
