Well, "Hall of Ideas That Are So Difficult To Make Work Well That They May Not In Fact Be Much Use" doesn't roll off the tongue as smoothly.

What this Hall could contain, for each idea, is a list of reasons why the idea has failed in the past. That would at least give future Quixotes something to measure their efforts by.

Ok, so better documentation about what was tried, why, how it failed so as to make obvious if it's viable to try again or not.

I can get behind that :)...
