Can you give a reason for not compiling .asd files?

Not that this really matters, but ... this is not so.
.asd files have always been meant to contains things like custom component definitions and defmethods for them -- not "just simple stuff". Historically speaking compiling .asd files used to work fine, assuming they set up their packages right -- which is one of the major reasons for the

(in-package :foo-system)
(defsystem :foo ...)
pattern one sometimes sees. Not sure if it is still expected to work.
