I agree. "plan, then execute" is one of the major (mis?)features of
ASDF. While I have often wanted it, calling a system that behaves like
that ASDF is just confusing.

While the change may be practically backwards-incompatible, it is a
major headache to deal with when people start actually using it --
since system depending on it will *not* work on older ASDF versions.

YASDF, ASDF2, ASDF.REC, GKSDF, whatever -- and I *like* the idea, but
not calling it ASDF.
