While not having a bag and tag and being able to still work on the robot during this time, i personally wouldn't have as much fun.
What would prevent you from still challenging yourself and your team to finish in ~45.5 days (we don't have 6 weeks). An open bag gives every team the right to choose how long they spend on their robot prior to putting on the field for their first match, assuming they start after kickoff. You can still acquire bags and zip ties*. Removing stop build just allows the teams who currently are struggling to continue to work after the build season, a little reprieve on draining their resources.

Spoiler for *Sarcasm:
If you miss having your ROBOT LOCK UP FORM verified I'll even volunteer to check any forms brought to me at events where I'm LRI after we abolish "Stop Build Day".
