Indeed. In fact Fred Brooks, (In "The Mythical Man Month",
specifically cited MS-DOS as one of the computing projects that
"people don't get excited about" - for the very reason you and he
cites, that throwing more developers at a project will not only fail
to improve it, and improve it faster, but will slow it down and make
it buggier.

Now, did you hear the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can hear the marching feet
Moving into the street
