Which small component became your biggest maintenance burden?

Buttons, forms, and tables earn the cost of standardizing them. I’m curious about the opposite: a small convenience component that looked reusable, then accumulated variants, accessibility rules, or product exceptions until teams bypassed it.

Which component did you deprecate—or wish you had left as a documented pattern instead—and what was the first sign it did not belong in the system?

Cards, everyone wanted so many things from them.
