   Though undocumented it was actually intentional: I was expecting that
   sites would have standard directories containing "release" code, and
   then individuals could push their personal directories - possibly
   containing development versions of systems with the same name - in
   front of that to override.

In fact I do exactly that.

I use different usernames for different projects, it is unix after
all.

So there is a global ASDF setup, followed by a specialization setup.
Ordering would be strange with this suggested change.
