This sounds tricky: since users depend on authors, both depend on implementors, and so on, issues and unhappiness may easily propagate from authors to users, from implementors to both those, etc; similarly to building a project with increasing tech debt, but at multiple layers. And then there is the question of application of this approach: whether one should consider picky and advanced users, or clueless ones, diverse users or an approximated average user, and likewise further along the chain, which is likely to lead to different results.
