I don't think this is a bad idea per say – obviously, who would think
it's a bad idea to fix bugs. But I'm still concerned. Isn't this in some
way just a band-aid?

If a project needs to spend an entire cycle (6 months) doing
stabilization, this tells me that its development model and operating is
having some problems. What about talking about those and trying to fix
them? Maybe we should try to fix (or at least enhance) the root cause(s)
rather than just the symptoms?

So can someone enlighten me on why some projects need an entire cycle to
work fixing bugs? :)

Best,
