Too many A-list speakers?

With the news that Mike Bloomberg is going to speak and endorse Clinton on Wednesday night, the Democratic Convention now has a long list of top speakers ready to go: (expected days in parenthesis)

Elizabeth Warren ???
Michelle Obama (Mon)
Bernie Sanders (Mon)
Bill Clinton (Tue)
Biden (Wed)
