I just released ASDF 1.600 in the official repository.

Please do not feel offended by the following: I am grateful that ASDF is moving so quickly.

However, for the future, I think you should avoid by all means the word "release" and "release numbers" that are approaching the hundred-ths. There is no way for unknowledgeable users nor busy implementors to find milestones or real _releases_ that we should ship with our implementations.

Maybe if the next release is ASDF 2.0 one should begin thinking on a different numbering, distinguishing individual sets of fixes pushed via git from monthly releases that aim at broader testing -- by that I mean with something like http://ecls.sf.net/logs.html but replacing platforms with implementations. I would not mind help on the latter at some point, but commercial implementations would be out of my reach.
