To be perfectly honest, having a completely arbitrary and meaningless day called "stop build day" that you're allowed to ignore one way or another might actually placate people on both sides of this one. People on teams that they want to make stop building can follow it and people who don't want to can choose to keep working. The official-ness of this arbitrary day lets everyone keep their favorite 6 week build season lie going if they want, and lets any individual team do what they want.

The issue is that it would be a meaningless term that would confuse less aware FRC teams who would think you would be required to totally stop working then. I would hope we could all move to a system where we don't have to do anything as silly and nonsensical as making a "stop build day" that means nothing, but come to think of it, it isn't substantially different than the current system other than avoiding resource duplication.
