I don't agree. I think it is useful to have a list of "things we should seriously considering doing when we get the time even if they aren't an immediate priority".
Just because you have coding agents, doesn't mean suddenly every such idea should be done immediately. You can come up with a hundred ideas much faster than you can review the work of a hundred agents tasked with implementing them.
The core concept of a backlog is that some half-assed idea will sit in storage for years... then somehow sprout into a viable software project. Without any research, effort, investment, or design intent.
This is empirically false, especially in the age of LLMs. Intent is everything.

Love it. The backlog was dead long before LLMs.
