I understand. But sometimes it's good to have some features in mind when you
write you first code, even if those features won't be implemented at the
beginning. It prevent you from rewriting everything (or part of it). One
feature you should think about is flexibility and extension possibility.
Extensions will of course come later, but it give you some indications about
your current code (I know that: I rewrote the whole core of KUPS to be able
to extend it to other systems and so to reach the current kdeprint library).

Michael.
