Exactly. That's what this proposal is about.

Based on several discussions I had with developers working part-time on
OpenStack at various events lately, it sounded like slowing down our
pace could be helpful to them and generally reduce stress in OpenStack
development. I know people who can spend 100% of their time upstream can
cope with our current rhythm. I just observe that we have less and less
of those full-time people and need to attract more of the part-time one.

If this proposal is not helping developers and making OpenStack
development less painful, I don't think we should do it :)
