Net new feature development is often 20% or less of the job. With most guidelines like this, it's always possible to find exceptions -- but understanding why you're making the tradeoff in that situation is key.

With that said, using methods like stacking and feature flagging, I've been finding even new feature development to be possible while keeping my PRs to roughly 5 files changed or less.
