Could SLIME adopt ASDF as a way to compile itself and other software?
This is a rather vague question. If you want to have a change to swank.asd or swank-asdf.lisp then just go ahead and send a patch.
OTOH, changing the startup procedure is a much more delicate issue and "avoid code duplication" is not a sufficient justification.
There might be arguments in favor of clbuild. A tool to start any Lisp with the same set of command line parameters would certainly be desirable. As a bonus it can load ASDF and Quicklisp for us.
