This pretty much just comes down to estimate how much you're going to need and then go for that in the first place.

Which I imagine is what people would be aiming for anyway? I don't think anyone is using YAGNI knowing they are in fact going to need it.

The other issue is most engineers want to over-engineer. So anything that encourages that without noting the real costs should probably be tampered down.

My experience is that everyone wants to engineer to their own standards. When it's in a team setting, people with different standards (and tastes) results into "over-engineered" code base.
