Yes, it mostly decouples "launch" of a feature from accidental side effects of it. I find that reduces the peak/emergency workload; important for small numbers of developers. Also aids in developing the whole codebase cohesively -- instead of "don't touch the core to add the new feature". Or trying to wrangle separate branches that have a dependency.
