Yes, this is the general view. In particular, don't add unsourced statements to a fully sourced article, don't add spelling mistakes to a proofread article etc. I would like us to formalise this.
That really should not be the case for older FAs. I rewrote two of them because I feared they were prime delisting candidates. Oh, and those articles didn't degrade since listing; FA standards simply got a lot more rigorous since they were listed.
What should happen in this case is that those articles should be degraded to "A class" (see [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment]]). Hopefully this would cause less pain than the current featured/non featured demotion?
