Generally I've seen both functions make-build and bundle-system as deprecated for quite a while in asdf source code. While I didn't want to get rid of make-build, because it's part of the official ECL build API, I've grepped through the libraries in Quicklisp and nobody seemed to use bundle-system.
I think this is an example of Quicklisp being an imperfect measure for the level of use of the API. This happens every now and then and I want to take the opportunity to reiterate that "The community of CL users" != "the community of QL users."
For example: Quicklisp isn't really about bundling *applications*, it's about assembling systems out of components, not about distribution. Of course, code *might* slip in to QL that is delivery-related, but that would be just coincidental.
Also: Code used in non-open source projects, or projects that for one reason or another haven't entered into QL cannot be broken willy-nilly.
No API function should be removed, or modified in its nature without clearing it through ASDF-devel.
Thanks!
