Maybe this would be a good time to push A-B-L into the ASDF repository? I've always been in favor of this, acnyway, since it's such a critical extension. IMO it would be great if anyone who had ASDF could also get A-B-L with no more work than a call to asdf:oos.
why with an asdf:oos? why not just incorporate the functionality into asdf? (possibly with such default values that preserve the current, imho bad, practice of writing .fasl files all around the disk)
just my 0.02,
I think what you suggest would be even better; I just hesitated to suggest it because there's been a tendency (I think correct) towards conservatism in ASDF development.
I have been using A-B-L for years, and I rely on it heavily. It has always been dead reliable for me. I'd be delighted to see it folded in.
Especially since it relies on un-exported aspects of ASDF, and is so bound very tightly with the core of ASDF.
