Re: [PATCH] Re: Could there be a way to disable LOAD-PREFERENCES?

Hi Christophe,

I think I was the original preferences perpetrator and I use the  
mechanism in some places. After more thought (aided by the discussion  
here), I think that preference loading should not be part of the  
current ASDF (though maybe they could/should be part of the  
hypothetical incf-asdf). I'd be happy to do something like the  
following:

  * add a special that turns on preference loading if it bound to  
true; it's initial binding will be nil
  * mark all the preference code as deprecated, to be removed in X  
months (X = 3?)

How does that sound?
