Problem: asdf's current versioning scheme will declare that asdf 3 is
incompatible with asdf 2, so anyone who tries (asdf:version-satifies
"3.0" "2.26") is in for a big disappointment.

As long as we reasonably don't break compatibility, I propose we keep
the asdf 2 series going indefinitely.

And if we are going to break compatibility, we know where to find
xcvb, quick-build, etc.
