Have you considered leaving old asdf:operation as a deprecated backward compatibility stub defined as

  (defclass operation (downward-operation) ())

And the hierarchy base class will be called for example base-operation:

  (defclass base-operation ()    )
 
  (defclass downward-operation (base-operation)    )
  (defclass upward-operation (base-operation)    )
  (defclass sideway-operation (base-operation)    )
  (defclass selfward-operation (base-operation)    )
  (defclass non-propagating-operation (base-operation)   )
