overdesigned rather than poorly designed. even if nobody can use it, it's just an extraneous feature. an atm built into the concrete that you'd have to stop short of and get out of your car to use. now that would be poorly designed.
</lurk> Do you mean overdesigned in the sense that because that atm has features that wouldn't be needed in it's current location, that it shouldn't have those features? What about just making inventory tracking easier? (eg. "We have 32 ATMs that are all featurewise identical and they're all interchangeable" vs. "We have 22 ATMS with feature X and 10 w/o feature X") Now, to get it somewhat related to network stuff: s/atm/router/ s/features/capabilities/ s/location/network function/ <lurk>\
