IMHO LMS should first of all be capable to run out of the box with any
sufficiently modern Perl version and ecosystem. E.g. 5.22 (5 years old).
And even old systems can update the CPAN modules, so there is no reason to
not require that.

If LMS would fit nicely in the ecosystem I think many relevant Linux distros
will include LMS by default, making it much easier for people to start
using LMS.
