Thanks. Previously, I think cmucl only updated on x.y, ignoring z. But with asdf 3, I think we updated on x.y.z (3.0.2, in particular).
Yes, I changed the numbering with ASDF 3, so that it be possible to signal significant changes that aren't compatibility breakers: the first number is a major version, and bumping it means that some notable incompatible changes were made, as was the case between ASDF 2 and ASDF 3. The second number is a minor version number; it now allows the maintainer to signal some significant milestone that did not notably break compatibility. The third number (previously, second) is the release number; it is bumped at every release. The fourth number (previously, third), when present, is changed at every revision, and indicates a non-released revision. A fifth number (previously, fourth), when present, is the recommended way to indicate a local patch that was not committed upstream. Therefore, 2.26 was the 27th release of ASDF 2 (the English language has an off by one error, remember?), whereas 3.0.2 was the 3rd release of ASDF 3.0.
