Status: OUT
The GoF's eight redesign causes mapped to specific mitigating patterns provide reliable preventive design guidance only while practitioners resist overgeneralizing abstractions: applying patterns to anticipated redesign causes is safe only when the variation is genuinely expected, not when every potential variation point is preemptively abstracted.
Preventive pattern application is gated on exercising judgment about which causes actually apply
