I think that really drives home the point that not only are we doing something really cool and hard, but also in a very limited amount of time. I definetly think that for outreach, the "6 weeks" aspect helps in attracting people to an even cooler thing. Something to think about.
But it's a lie. We don't have 6 weeks even if teams stopped right at "Stop Build Day" it's 45 days 12 Hours . If we are lying already, we can just keep lying after we abolish "Stop Build Day".
