I'm not sure what can go wrong if one CL:LOADs an .asd file, but if things can go wrong, a warning seems sensible, maybe even an error.

Well, first, it might be loaded from the wrong package. ASDF 1&2 loads from a temporary package that uses CL and ASDF. ASDF 3 loads from ASDF-USER, that uses CL, ASDF, and most of POIU (not all of it, for backward-compatibility reasons, until SBCL has stopped using SB-EXT in SB-GROVEL at the same time as).

I didn't understand this. So are we likely to encounter problems with old systems making their own packages that use only ASDF and CL?
Presumably not, unless symbols moved from ASDF to POIU, but thought I would check.
Well, you'd have to do a run with cl-test-grid to be sure that works, but yes, it might be nice if ASDF-USER were to use all of POIU instead of just asdf/common-lisp and asdf/package.
