It’s okay for one team to have several logical units of code. In fact from a Conway First model, it’s helpful because it allows horse trading when it turns out the team competencies don’t match responsibilities very well. I’m not dismantling my team, I’m just transferring module ownership to another team.

What does not work is splitting ownership of many tings for a long time. It’s too many plates to spin. But some things can be shared by a few people without tipping over into anarchy.
