As part of the design of a quality system, you will encounter ways to be lean and you will encounter ways to create waste. Part of a you will want to keep everything (hoard) and part of you will want to keep only the things that matter. If you keep only the things that matter to you now, then you are potentially painting yourself into a corner. If, on the other hand, you design such that you have some waste (are not perfectly efficient) such that you can pick up the pieces that you left behind.
The point here is that you have to design systems that have some waste, such that it can be consumed later, by others. Designing perfect systems is impossible and if you were to do it, you'd have others pick and find holes and they'd have a job and you wouldn't. Or you'd be starting over somewhere from scratch. Go agile or go home.
