Well, one reason uiop.asd is one level down is to make it easier to package uiop separately for use by e.g. quicklisp. One reason asdf.asd isn't down in a subdirectory called defsystem/ is that asdf.lisp is in build/

Neither of these reasons is unsurmountable. But at this point, I don't see much value in fighting them.

I was wondering if it would be possible to bump the uiop.asd file up to be a sibling of asdf.asd.

It seems odd to me that asdf.asd is at the top level, and has build/asdf.lisp under it, but that uiop.asd is in uiop/.

Odd + it means I need now to do

(push "home:lisp;asdf;" asdf:*central-registry*) and (push "home:lisp;asdf;uiop;" asdf:*central-registry*)

to upgrade....

Any reason why uiop.asd couldn't be at the top level?
