We generally try to avoid premature over-engineering, and at the moment, we
have no known need for the additional changes you speak of. Introducing
codepaths that we don't exercise can lead to surprise failures later when we
do. That said, I suppose if you're able to give sufficient unit test
coverage, that's enough "exercise". I could go either way on this one.
(Sorry... I don't suppose that was very helpful, was it?)
