[asdf-devel] Structure of ASDF directory

[Faré]

Well, one reason uiop.asd is one level down is to make it easier to
package uiop separately for use by e.g. quicklisp.
One reason asdf.asd isn't down in a subdirectory called defsystem/ is
that asdf.lisp is in build/

Neither of these reasons is unsurmountable. But at this point, I don't
see much value in fighting them.
