[asdf-devel] P.S. re patch...

[Faré]

Also, I'd like to know if any package in Quicklisp relies on some ASDF
internals I'd like to rename. This is especially harder when users
define methods on a generic function — you can't rename the function,
then.
Is there an easy way to download EVERYTHING (excluding old versions)
so I may grep the results?
