Yes! Every addition carries some risk. The real world example I give to clients/managers of the risk of adding a feature is this:
Once I was using an industrial camera that had a mode that allowed it to mirror or “flip” the image output. Unfortunately, after running for a few hours, sometimes it would decide to flip the image on its own. Had that “flip” feature not existed, the bug could never have occurred.
The point isn’t that you shouldn’t add useful features, but that even easy to add features aren’t as “free” as they might seem and the risk of adding them should be recognized and weighed against their utility.
