Absolutely not.  In fact it lets us move to something different even
faster if we want to, as we don't have to worry about replicating all
that %magic% somewhere else.  Keeping things simple allows for easier
change.

I don't think keeping things simple and keeping the %magic% away hurts
this ideal.
