Abstract
Background: There is a constant discussion regarding whether the ICSE Technical Research track is accepting too many contributions of some type and too few of some other type. Questions: Are ICSE and the contributions it is seeing well aligned with what is important for bringing software engineering forward? Method: 26 expert interviews with senior members of the ICSE community, evaluated qualitatively and reported with many quotations. Results: About three quarters of the respondents are not generally happy with ICSE's alignment. Two specific complaints that recur frequently concern a) many low-relevance contributions making it into the program and b) several types of high-relevance contributions hardly seen in the ICSE program.
