Sitting behind a firewall, will not be able to pull from git for a few
hours. I have a small question though.

Why not using the scheme

(defpackage :asdf-boot
 ...)
; all new code using asdf-boot package
; rename package "asdf" -> "asdf-old"
; rename package "asdf-boot" -> "asdf"

instead of manually moving the symbols around? The difference here is that
the symbols that the compiler reads in "all new code" are well defined and
are the same ones that will end up being installed in the final "ASDF"
package.
