That's standard practice for a requirements list. First you wish everything you could possibly want. Then you start to compromise. Ditto on architectures.

I find that from a practical stand point this may be backwards. First, you set down in writing and get written buy-in from the parties in authority (assuming there are any) what the proposed system/product will NOT DO and once set you don't allow this to change for at least the first release (assuming there are several release possible or planned). Doing otherwise invites constant feature/mission creep. After many years of successful and unsuccessful project developments I've learned to walk away if I can't get this first item resolved.
