Why? Because the function has been deprecated for many many years. The only reason it hasn't signaled a style-warning before is because ASDF lacked the infrastructure to do so.
When? Is a better question. Now that ASDF does have this deprecation infrastructure (since 3.2.0 in last January), is it a good time, less than 6 months later and without massive adoption of 3.2.0, to ramp up from style-warning to full warning? Maybe not. I'm thinking that the full warning may be usefully pushed back a few more months.

ASDF 3.3.0 has failures: https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/asdf/asdf-diff-65.html
Thanks. Interesting.
A whole lot of failures seem to be related to using now-deprecated functions, that since 3.2.0 where causing ASDF to issue a STYLE-WARNING, but with 3.3.0 are causing it to issue a full WARNING. I'll send patches.
Fare, why do you want to fail compilation with WARNING on ASDF:SYSTEM-DEFINITION-PATHNAME usage? (http://cl-test-grid.appspot.com/blob?key=1ipz631lkv)
