I have full confidence that EK and Coralreefer are developing and implementing the code in the way that serves this project the most. We are very lucky to have these talented people working behind the scenes to make this happen and we should support and back them as much as possible.
Your are not alone with these thought. I am also fully confidence that both heroes are doing the things they needed. I personally have a lot experience as a product owner. So I know these things. I hate it also when other peoples outside my scope are trying to influence the pbi of the current sprint.
