David, well, even though I “over-simplified” the essence here is trivial: The best recipe for maintainability is keeping things simple—the fewer elements your site has, the fewer rules your style sheets contain, the easier is maintenance.
The overall picture, however, probably ask us to remember Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” 😊
