adj. [common] Said of a design or revision that has been badly compromised
|
|
by a requirement to be compatible with fossils or misfeatures in other
|
|
programs or (esp.) previous releases of itself. MS-DOS 2.0 used \ as a path

separator to be bug-compatible with some cretin's choice of / as an option
|
|
character in 1.0.
