Lean architecture philosophy

Dependency injection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection) allows system behaviour customisation without binary changes

However, allowing for this hypothetical need violates YAGNI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_ain%27t_gonna_need_it).

It is better to adopt a lean architecture, and decide as late as possible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_software_development#Decide_as_late_as_possible)

"Always implement things when you actually need them, never when you just foresee that you need them".

This is also how unix succeeded with its 'KISS" principle and rule of simplicity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy).
