No, this is not an official position as an "ASDF project leader".
Moreover, I do intend to resign from active ASDF development after
ASDF 2 is released, and focus my CL build hacking activity wholly on
XCVB.

Inasmuch as there is an "official position" of "ASDF project leaders"
as such, it is that ASDF will be the best ASDF it can be, and that
XCVB is not on the radar. (Unofficially, we tailored our
source-registry API so it may be directly reused by XCVB.)
