1- I think we should proceed and add a default path anyway. ~/cl/ and/or ~/common-lisp/ sound fine to me, and I've seen no one complain about that. You could make it ~/local/common-lisp/ if you're into larger paths.
How about providing the following as part of this:
1. the option of a control file within that default path, to be able to specify subdirectories to be ignored. So anyone who already happens to have a ~/cl/ with a bunch of inactive subfolders with .asd files can make ~/cl/subdirs-to-exclude.asdc whose contents could be e.g.
("inactive-proj-1" "inactive-proj-2")
2. When registering systems in the default location, loudly announce that this is happening, e.g:
***** Automatically registering .asd systems under ~/cl/...
Protip: if you want to exclude certain subdirectories, create file
~/cl/subdirs-to-exclude.asdc
containing a list of the subdirectory names to be excluded, e.g.
("inactive-proj-1" "inactive-proj-2")
