Modification indices (MIs)
In other software packages, MIs do not, as far as I know, take into account possible equality constraints between elements of the matrices. It would be a neat feature if OpenMx could do this, because MIs are useless for behavior genetic models in which it is meaningless to free up, e.g., a path from genotype to phenotype for one individual but not to do so for their relative at the same time.

This is something that I'd
I'd rather see something implemented like Taehun Lee's and Bud MacCallum's recent work on parameter influence. The idea there is to estimate a value for how influential a parameter is. That way we are gaining understanding about how much a model would change if a parameter were gone (or added), and also gaining understanding as to what proportion model fit is changed when a parameter is forced away from its optimal value by some small (either proportional or absolute) value.
