Sounds like there's a good function that can be exposed as an extension without needing to get the component-gathering right, which would be great.
Indeed, and here I would like to get some help in getting it right. No need for you guys to code anything, but rather discuss when and if you have a free slot of time.
Maybe I got misled -- are there two issues: what can be done now and what we could do a lot better if component gathering worked reliably?
Yes! Reliably is right now impossible because the goal of "bundles" would be to pack everything that a system requires to work and right now this is simply not specified by an ASDF file, which is a pity, but a corretable problem nevertheless.
There are paths out of here, though, and they do not require waiting for 3.0, I believe.
