Free Software Directory:Antifeatures
Antifeatures are flags applied to applications to warn of behavior that may be undesirable from the user's perspective. Frequently it is behavior that benefits the developer or third party, but that the end user of the software would prefer not to be there.
The pages of applications which have antifeatures include a prominent warning added to the page source.
Discussion is happening on the talk page and mailing list, and Dev for work in progress.
