Yes, I think we should stop documenting ASDF 2 compatibility,
and instead suggest that people should upgrade their implementation,
or, if stuck with LispWorks, and until it is released with ASDF 3
as is planned later this year, use our bin/install-asdf-as-module script.
The odd case of a user being stuck with a system-provided
implementation the asdf of which can't be upgraded and without
quota to install a new one should be marginal not to deserve more
than a footnote or a FAQ at best.
