I call it "keeping an escape hatch". The potential need to scale and add features will inform my design decisions, but they will not direct them.

  "keeping an escape hatch". I like that. A former colleague said something similar that also stuck with me. Good software architecture allows you to delay decisions.

  I use "always keep an out", which is taken from poker terminology, but I like yours as well.
