    What word or phrase would describe the process or the resulting software that has features added to constantly over time resulting in a lot of features that could be refactored into less but more elegant and simple features. I really don't know how to describe it, but I'm thinking of software that is very well supported and when users make suggestions that make sense they are added quickly as new features, but there comes a point when there are so many new features that if you take a step back and look at it could be consolidated into a simple set of features that accomplish the same task. Damn. That's why I need a word, I can't describe it without using dozens of words.

            You've had bloatware already, but that only describes the current incarnation. You're describing bloatware that could be shrunk to more rational proportions. How 'bout: Deflatableware ? Iain.
