If Avalon Framework carries the ball as consistently and as far as possible in this regard, and acheives a level of trust in doing so, it is still 1000% better than straight OO to the normal development team, which has only straight OO to fall back on as an alternative. Big ball of mud a-coming down the pike. So I guess the mantra would then be revised to Do one thing. Do that thing as well as reasonably and consistently as possible.
