I think it is important to also start thinking of the modules that make
up the LMS.  Is this list about the entire LMS or the web opac?  
 
I also have seen the death by enhancement process as a ALEPH systems
librarian.  We are asked to suggest enhancements for a version of the
software that we have not even seen yet.

Interestingly the North American Aleph user group has recently moved
away from working with the supplier (Ex Libris) on individual
enhancement requests, and instead has an agreement to focus development
on one specific functional area at a time. However, even early into to
trying this not all libraries are happy they have lost the opportunity
to vote for smaller enhancements.
