The argument in favor of KISS and YAGNI is that while you might have
an idea that *something* is needed in a spot and stick something there
as your best guess, but you often don't get the right something in
place until you actually get to the point where you need it. It's
possible that putting that stuff on Schema early on would have
dramatically changed other things in the implementation that followed,
and not necessarily for the better.
As much as possible, I like to see current requirements dictate
features as opposed to vague ideas of the future.
Agreed.
