Is this really the effective semantics of T?  It doesn't seem like it
to me.  I just tested by doing:

(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :shop-airport :force t)

on this system definition:

(asdf:defsystem :shop-airport
    :depends-on (
		 ;; using customized version for now...
		 ;;:shop2
		 :shop-airport-planner
		 :norvig :rpg-utils
			:floyd-warshall)
    :components (;(:file "type-checked-domain")
		 ;; customized version... [2005/09/23:rpg]
		 (:file "temporal-shop2")
		 ;; depends on AT-TIME...
		 (:file "plan-translator")
		 (:file "translate-problem")
		 (:file "shop-patch")
		 (:file "shop-domain")
		 (:file "graph-draw")
		 (:file "airport-facts")
		 (:file "airports")
		 (:file "run-tests")))

and all of the depended-on systems were recompiled...
