Disagree. The benefits of forcing everyone to expand their domain knowledge and have a better overview of the system far outweigh the communication and ramp-up obstacles.
In the real world, a programmer quits on the average of every sixteen months. If that individual "owns" lots of code that others are not familiar with, the costs are enormous. It happens all the time.
Rotating responsibilities is just one idea that has immense value outside of general XP practice.
