[asdf-devel] Last call before code freeze

Robert,

I believe that the system-depends-on support, unsatisfactory as it is,
is already useful in some cases, and probably forward-compatible with
a future satisfactory solution, which is why I favor leaving it as is
for 2.0.

However, I will not object if you remove that support or add a trivial
cerror when it is used (assuming you test the result before you
commit). I don't think it's worth doing myself. If you think it's
worth doing - prove it.

That's my last word on the subject until 2.0 is released.

So, apart from that, no objection to a freeze? So be it. Code freeze
starting May 1st. Only bug fixes and documentation updates from then
on. After two weeks of no change at all, I will declare 2.0 released.
Hopefully on time for SBCL 1.0.39.

(Note that before the freeze, I have made changes that allow to remove
code from POIU.)
