I think that that would be a good thing and was going to bring up the idea myself!
Any dissent?

I was just setting up a new machine to do lisp work on, and got part of the way through the install, then realized "oh, drat, now I need to get asdf-binary-locations, too." Would it be possible to simply distribute a-b-l with ASDF from now on? It's a pretty tiny add on, and it has been rock solid for a long time now. The cost seems very low (small number of bytes, and it would be disabled unless launched by the user), and I'd argue that skipping a step in working lisp environment configuration would be a good thing.
