This is similar to my view. All these "laws" should alwaye be used as guidance not as actual laws. Same with O. I think its good advice to design software so adding features that are orthogonal to other features don't require modifying much code.
That's how I view it. You should design your application such that extension involves little modifying of existing code as long as it's not necessary from a behavior or architectural standpoint.
