If we wish to keep this design principle, it seems that we should provide a facility for installers to annotate asdf system definitions. Presumably these annotations should be "on the side" and not in the system definition files themselves.

This is what the original proposal to export COMPONENT-FORCED and TRAVERSE was for.

Ah. I see. Question: do we foresee some protocol for infiltrating the find-system process so that an installer can drop an ancillary file in that will be loaded before or after the system definition file that is written by the developer.
