The team that has expanded their surface area too fast and can't keep up with maintenance is probably a team that made the transition from explore to expand in the Kent Beck 3x model. The good thing is that they found something like product-market fit but then they can't fix the bottlenecks being discovered with the transition.

There is probably some important analysis to be done between the difference of standard maintenance and new bottlenecks. There is probably something about tech debt (a term that triggers me a bit as a PM) too...

I've been really interested in maintenance, especially with a new book from Stewart Brand coming out about it soon.
