That argument is only valid if:
 1. you have hardware that will use it but it is not ready.
 2. they will get used in next release (in < 6 mo)

Ths set of indirection has negative cost: it impedes readability, 
has to be maintained, and hurts performance.

One of the principles of agile programming is NOT to build infrastructure
until it is needed. Otherwise you are likely to build it wrong.
