This is a definite risk if you haven't planned for it and got buy-in. But it's a risk that's also fine with me: I don't want to support and develop shitty prototypes that I've whipped up and know to be awful from a maintenance perspective. So if my garbage gets sidelined and I go work on something else, that's also a win and also not my problem anymore.
