Isn't that the job a product manager? There are other means and methodologies for gathering user sentiment before you go and build something.

You should get as close as you can, release the product, and iterate.

Todays world is release the product in some ramshackle form or fashion, collect feedback, iterate. To do that introduces a new construct of Feature Flags that would otherwise not be necessary.

“And management’s priority for Q4 is feature Y, so we’re just going to leave feature X like it is for now”
