The changes could conceivably be contained in a single file, though unhappily not with the current version of XCVB. Also, it makes things noticeably harder for the Make backend if the meaning of a file depends on data in a central file shared by all - basically, you can't let Make rely on timestamps anymore, and/or you must rebuild everything when the central file changes. Which is one of the annoyances of ASDF.
Well, the problem that I personally see is that you urge maintainers to maintain inter-file dependencies in two different places for each file involved.
I thought that you provided an asdf-compatibility mode where you parse the .asd file to obtain the dependency information from. Is that not the case?
