Spot on.
I just can't be bothered with the IPL, there's too much of it and it's completely devoid of meaning. T20s are okay as long as they "mean" something to all involved, a couple of matches per bilateral series -- it's basically the same with ODIs: all those 7 match series or endless tri-series ... hell, I love Test cricket, but a six match Test series between Zim and BD would probably break my will to live. ;)
