"The main problem with BSD Unix has always been creeping featurism." More generally, creeping featurism is the tendency for anything to become more complicated because people keep saying "Gee, it would be even better if it had this feature too".

A similar phenomenon sometimes afflicts conscious redesigns; see second-system effect. See also creeping elegance.
