We can provide new, improved functionality without breaking anything. And keep old systems working forever with new ASDF.
"forever" is a very strong word Anton. e.g. if CL doesn't fade into the category of history in 10 years, meaning that a significant number of people will still use it to develop new software, then i'll be both surprised and disappointed.
I know people who work with PL/I till now; and even more people who use C++. I don't worry about CL in 10 years.
But that's all off-topic for asdf-devel
