Mostly sounds good to me. Assuming you're still interested in more expressive version numbers and constraints for 3.4, I'll work on moving that off the back burner.
Adding fine-grained version constraints would be a big mistake.
I do not have the time to check this thoroughly right now, but I recall having suggested that ASDF shouldn't impose any constraints on version "numbers", but rather defer version comparison to libraries when they use a version numbering scheme that ASDF doesn't understand. This can be done by providing generic functions like version-> etc., and letting people provide methods on them.
There may even be an issue and a patch lurking around somewhere. Again, sorry for being fuzzy, this is just from the top of my head.
