I agree with the general idea, but I'm not sure putting development and product in an antagonistic relationship will improve things. They're different professionals with different ideas of what's important. Someone in product is unlikely to understand the development cost of leaving something half-finished, because recognising it as a maintenance tar pit takes development expertise that can be hard to articulate (as expertise tends to be). What's needed is close cooperation, not finger pointing.
