Exactly. If you have to care about this for any prolonged time, do yourself a favor and structure your code carefully, think about the right abstractions, etc.
If you only need to release it before Christmas no matter what, and sales will wane anyway in 6 months, then even worse crimes against maintainability may find a justification.
The problem is, of course, is that even code that was intended as throwaway tends to live much much longer than expected, if it actually works.
