PS: after 2.0 is out, I'd like to resign from ASDF maintainership, to
focus on XCVB (help welcome on that, too). Is anyone volunteering to
replace me on ASDF?

After thinking about it, I am willing to step up as a possible replacement. The reasons why I would go that far are
* My own personal interest in ASDF working properly with ECL and other implementation philosophies.
* My belief that ASDF can and should be improved along the directions I have repeatedly mentioned: declarative system files, simpler user interface for common tasks (testing, building, packing, installing...).
* My will to make it simpler to systematically download, build and test existing software with different implementations [1]

Reasons why I am still doubting:
* I have the feeling my points of view do not find a strong resonance here.

As an ASDF user, you get all my moral support about improving ASDF along the directions you mentionned.

* ECL is and will continue to be my first priority in terms of time and resources.
* Very intermittent availability: CL is my hobby, not my job.

We all have these constraints... :-(
