acting like I want, I'd rather read about how to make it do what I want in a tutorial or manual.
Loud announcement only in the initial ASDF release when the new default directory is first introduced. In subsequent ASDF releases the announcement would go away.
I don't think it's a suitable way to communicate with me, even if it only happens for a certain period of time.
I'm not sure what way of communicating you recommend, for changes in default behavior of ASDF or recommended practice in using it.
Major changes like that happen less than once a year (ASDF 2 in 2010, ASDF 3 in 2013, ASDF 3.1 soon in 2014), and while backward-compatibility has always been a huge priority, improvements sometimes do mean the recommended way of using ASDF changes, for the better.
