I have definitely done that in my mind. I don't agree with all of the items in 12 factor. The principles that drive those 12 factors are ones that I follow, just not the specific implementation that is presented. I don't know that it distills down to 4 or whatever number, but I'm certain it is less than 12. For example I don't think that it's always appropriate to store config in the environment variables. But the principle of not embedding config in code is one that I follow.
