Hi
I believe any belief that having "bug hunt weeks" is a long term
solution is rather flawed. The issues should be tackled at an
earlier stage.
Despite not being a sufficient solution, are they not nonetheless
necessary? Or at least helpful?

Yes, I think they would be useful. Periods of concentrated effort at fixing bugs
is a standard practice in professional software engineering.
In a similar way I feel "bug fix only releases" would be useful, where one
concentrates on removing bugs, and not adding features. That idea has however
been very much disliked by many people.
Given the lack of enthusiasm by many (including William) for my suggestions of
"bug-fix-only" releases, it will be interesting to see how many take William up
on attending the "Bug Days".
