I've already found that both the SBCL and Quicklisp maintainers flat out 
refuse to update the versions of ASDF that they bundle.  So no bug fixes 
because they prefer predictability.

(And even though no one's asking: yes, this attitude does degrade my 
morale and mean that ASDF gets less attention than it probably should.)
