To wit, I frequently go with the "no data warehouse" option in favor of just writing some streamlined code to solve actual problems instead of a system to handle all problems that have yet to be realized. Sometimes it really is better to go with a dedicated solution rather than trying to catch all possibilities in a generic fashion.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. It would still lead to multiple data management systems though, whether you called them a warehouse or not. But it's hard to create specialized data marts if the house does not support the requirements. You constantly have to update and conform in order to have one solution be the solution to all.
