I agree 100%. Yes, we need to decide where we are going before we go and
implement quick solutions that may turn out to be dirty later on. We
really can't afford to be throwing anything away. Trying to prototype
before we have an idea of what the migration path will be, and what we
will be migrating to, will inevitably create a compatibility hodgepodge,
user/implementor confusion, and bad blood at a time when we really can't
afford it.

So, why not decide where we are going, so that we can design where we
are.
