Will removing stop-build be one of the many "ways-to-improve-build-seasons (and the students and the robots that build-seasons produce)", or is it one of the "ways-to-NOT-improve-build-seasons (and the students and the robots that build-seasons produce)"?

I am proposing this:

Removing stop-build is simply one of many "ways-to-improve-build-seasons (and the students and the robots that build-seasons produce)"

A) because I believe lengthening the build season is so unlikely (for an overwhelming majority of the teams) to affect the root causes and symptoms that people are hoping to affect, and
B) because I focus on FIRST's as a program that uses competitions, but doesn't exist to *be* competitions; I think we should park lengthening-the-build-season in the examined-but-rejected-because-of-very-low-ROI pile.

We/FIRST have better/bigger fish to fry. YMMV
