Can you explain what is meant, exactly, by "take abl out of the core"?
For that matter, I don't know what "configurable" means in this context.
 "Reads an init file"?  It was always configurable in the sense that I
could load my asdf:*central-registry*, and I developed several utilities
for configuring ASDF using only this rudimentary facility.

I'm not sure I follow this.  I certainly do /not/ want to see us revert
to the days when asdf-binary-locations was a separate download.

I'm not trying to be a nitpicker here; I just want to avoid us talking
by each other in case we don't agree about these terms.

best,
