Friday and Saturday only. Once it's all announced, it will be interesting to see who got it closest to correct.
Now that we know MMJ and Phil are confirmed for the Which stage slots, we are starting to get a clearer view of late night this year. I think it will end up:
Friday:
Which Stage-MMJ This Tent-M.I.A.-->Talib Kweli-->Lupe Fiasco That Tent-Umphrey's McGee-->Disco Biscuits The Other Tent-Superjam
Saturday:
Which Stage-Phil Lesh and Friends This Tent-Gogol Bordello That Tent-Sigur Ros The Other Tent-Ghostland Observatory-->Ladytron-->MSTRKRFT
I know Friday is a bit of a repeat from 2005, but you need a jamband show on both nights (and Superjam doesn't count).
That being said, I hope I'm wrong honestly. I want to see pretty much everything I listed, and all those conflicts would make me sad.

Absolutely no way that Kanye gets a tent. Hoping for any combination of Chromeo, Ghostland, !!!, MSTRKRFT, M.I.A. late night sets, but I feel like Chromeo and MSTRKRFT are the only safe late night bets.
I couldn't imagine the biscuits being any other time. I will also pat myself on the back for correctly calling both MMJ and PHil late night on the WHICH.
not to rain on anyones parade but i highly doubt ghostland gets a night set there just not big enough. and in other fests they played its always been day sets
"not to rain on anyones parade but i highly doubt ghostland gets a night set there just not big enough. and in other fests they played its always been day sets"
True, but out of the festivals Ghostland played in the last year, which ones even had late night sets?

I am hoping Gogol Bordello gets a Thursday evening or night set, a perfect way to start off Bonnaroo, and i dont want any conflicts with them.
Not going to happen. They didn't play Thursday last year, and that would be taking a step back. I'm almost certain they will be late night.
I actually hope they play in the afteroon. Great start to the day and less conflicts. I am really excited to see them live becauise I missed them last year and if they play night I will probably miss it

The late night acts are not all found at the top of the lineup. Aesop Rock and El P were at 46 and 43 on the lineup last year. Granted, Ghostland will eventually end up in the 50s, but I don't think it would be unprecedented for them to share a set with MSTRKRFT, Chromeo, !!!, etc.
The fact that they've always played daytime slots at festivals (I saw them in 06 and 07 at Lolla, BTW) is all the more reason to give them a night-time spot.

also it would be something like 1-1.5 hours. I see it happening.
This first is when the organizers pit two or more bands against one another that are extremely similar in style and fanbase. If someone complained about Umphrey's vs. Bisco or Phil Lesh vs. Levon Helm, I would feel sorry for them.
The second is when someone bitches about two very different bands that they wanted to see playing at the same time. You can't exactly blame Superfly if you can't see all 3 hours of both Sigur Ros and MMJ.
For the record, the last scenario would be the only conflict for me, but I certainly wouldn't bitch about it to the organizers.
