Not if handled right. Remember those unimportant projects are often self-assigned as try the latest thing to see if it is useful to us, and they often get high visibility to management as cool things we want to do next.

Of course if this is only treated as unimportant projects they will leave.

Maybe a better term would be "critical projects" instead of "important projects" in that case?
