Not really. It’s a sign of too many responsibilities being given to one project. Feature bloat is a real thing.

As code matures it shouldn’t be getting more and more abstraction and APIs, it should be stabilizing with fewer changes. If the former is happening, it’s a sign it needs to be broken into multiple projects.

Breaking something in smaller projects also has its own associated costs.
