The key is to find a balance that leads to the best path to your particular goals, as usual. The guidelines I posted reflect the balance we found in our organization with low turnover and high system ownership, which themselves are desirable qualities, although I don't know how to go about achieving them. Perhaps they are emergent in a well-managed dev shop. I wrote about this idea a few years ago in my musings, and actually just republished it last week.
