I apologize for causing any stress.  I worry about "looking the gift horse
in the mouth" and was hoping to provide only helpful criticism.

To summarize my view,
- ASDF changes can be tricky, and the success of ASDF causes high visibility
- Recent changes have been good for ASDF with a few unintended consequences
- Please slow down the rate for pushing updates into SBCL, etc.  The new
upgrade features make it easier for end users to get what they need.
- Please keep up the good work and feel free to weight my feedback based
on my level of contribution (i.e. very, very low right now)

Thanks for your work,
Daniel
